Anything to do with geography fascinates me. One might think Liberty Island and Ellis Island are in New Jersey waters. But both are exclaves of New York therefore both are in New York.

I am impressed by the affinity of Louisianans for the peccadillos of Detroit's ambits.
Does this passion for anthropogeography explicate them referencing Canadians when discussing God's melanin enhanced children?

Isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid in which the top and bottom sides are parallel
Correct
quote:
while the remaining two non-parallel sides have the same length.
Incorrect
The 2 non-parallel sides are longer in two points on the Utah border by 560 ft, and another segment by 3860 ft. Making one longitudinal line 4420 ft longer than the other. Which is just shy of a mile longer

If you traveled due South from Biloxi or Gulfport, Mississippi, you would re enter the state of Louisiana.

I wasn’t implying that Colorado was or was not one; I was simply replying to someone who claimed there was no such thing as an Isosceles trapezoid
