This candy piece demonstrates the definition of a trapezoid (specifically an isosceles trapezoid), and Theorem 5-18, which states that the base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.
Lines AB and DC are parallel while AD and BC are not, which fits the qualification: "A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides is called
trapezoid." It also fits the qualification of an isosceles trapezoid by having congruent legs. Finally, the candy also fulfills Theorem 5-18, because, as you can see, its base angles are congruent. -IR1
