Geometry: Kites!

Front

What is a kite in geometry?

Back

A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of consecutive congruent sides.

Front

What are the properties of the diagonals in a kite?

Back

The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular to each other.

Front

If a kite has sides of lengths 7 and 13, what is the length of the other two sides?

Back

The other two sides are also 7 and 13, as a kite has two pairs of consecutive congruent sides.

Front

In kite LMNO, if MO = 13 and LP = 7, what is the length of LM?

Back

LM = 9.55.

Front

What is the sum of the interior angles of a kite?

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a kite is 360 degrees.

Front

How do you find the area of a kite?

Back

The area of a kite can be found using the formula: Area = (d1 * d2) / 2, where d1 and d2 are the lengths of the diagonals.

Front

If one diagonal of a kite is 10 and the other is 24, what is the area?

Back

Area = (10 * 24) / 2 = 120 square units.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles in a kite?

Back

In a kite, the angles between the pairs of congruent sides are equal.

Front

If the lengths of the two pairs of consecutive sides of a kite are 5 and 8, what are the possible lengths of the diagonals?

Back

The lengths of the diagonals can vary, but they will always be less than the sum of the lengths of the sides.

Front

What is the difference between a kite and a rhombus?

Back

A kite has two pairs of consecutive congruent sides, while a rhombus has all four sides congruent.
