What are the properties of the isosceles trapazoid?
Its diagonals are congruent. One set of parallel sides. The other two non parallel lines are congruent.
What solid figure is a set of your parallel cross sections are circles that are similar but not congruent?
A sphere is.
How is a rectangle different from a rhombus?
The opposite sides of rectangles are the same length and parallel, and the angles are all right. All four sides of a rhombus must all be the same length and parallel, but the angles need not be right. Squares are both rectangles and rhombuses, but no other figure is both a rectangle and a rhombus. In other words, the union of the set of rhombuses with the set of rectangles is the set of squares.
What shape has two parallel opposite sides but is not a parallelogram?
There are an infinite number of shapes that have two or more parallel opposite sides - any even-numbered polygon (hexagons, octagons, decagons, and so on).A quadrilateral with only 1 set of parallel sides is a trapezoid (UK trapezium).A parallelogram has two sets of parallel opposite sides. These would include rhombi and rectangles (and the special case of rectangles which are squares).
Why does a prism or a cylinder have a set of parallel cross sections that are parallelograms?
The bases of a prism or cylinder are congruent and parallel and they meet the lateral face (cynder) or faces (prism) at right angles. A cross section parallel to the longitudinal axis will, therefore, be a rectangle.

Its diagonals are congruent. One set of parallel sides. The other two non parallel lines are congruent.
What is one way to determine if a quadrilateral has congruent angles?
If it has at least one set of parallel sides, then at least one set of angles are congruent
What shape possesses a set of parallel cross sections that are congruent?
Cylinder
What solid figure is a set of your parallel cross sections are circles that are similar but not congruent?
A sphere is.

A parallelogram with one pair of parallel sides is a?
There is no such thing as a parallelogram with only one set of parallel sides.No. Both opposite sides are parallel. They are also congruent
What solid figure is a set of your parallel cross sections are squares that are similar but not congruent?
A square pyramid is.
Which quadrilaterals have one set of parallel sides and congruent diagonals?
It is an isosceles trapezoid that fits the given description.
What shape has two parallel opposite sides but is not a parallelogram?

What another name for a square?
Squares are also known as rectangles. They are a special case of a rectangle because all four sides are congruent. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles have to be squares. Squares can also be classified as a quadrilateral because they have 4 sides. A quadrilateral is defined as a four sided polygon. Squares are also known as parallelograms, since each set of opposite sides are parallel. The most general category for a square would be a polygon. A square is one particular example of a polygon. I hope that helps!
Why does a prism or a cylinder have a set of parallel cross sections that are parallelograms?

Is this statement true or falseIf a quadrilateral is a trapezoid, then each pair of base angles is congruent?
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly ONE set of parallel sides
