Kites and Trapezoids

Front

What is a kite in geometry?

Back

A kite is a quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length.

Front

What are the properties of a trapezoid?

Back

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. The non-parallel sides are called legs, and the parallel sides are called bases.

How do you find the measure of an angle in a trapezoid?

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a trapezoid is 360 degrees. You can use this property to find missing angles.

What is the formula for the midsegment of a trapezoid?

If one angle of a trapezoid is 65 degrees, what is the measure of the consecutive angle?

Front

What is the relationship between the angles in a kite?

Back

In a kite, the angles between the unequal sides are equal, and the angles between the equal sides are also equal.

Front

How do you calculate the length of a diagonal in a kite?

Back

The diagonals of a kite intersect at right angles, and one diagonal bisects the other. You can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the lengths.

Back

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