Trapezoids and Kites

Front

What is a trapezoid?

Back

A trapezoid is a four-sided figure (quadrilateral) with at least one pair of parallel sides.

Front

What are the properties of a kite?

Back

A kite is a quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length. The diagonals of a kite intersect at right angles, and one diagonal bisects the other.

Front

How do you find the area of a trapezoid?

Back

The area of a trapezoid can be calculated using the formula: Area = (1/2) * (Base1 + Base2) * Height.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles in a kite?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the diagonals in a kite?

Back

In a kite, one diagonal bisects the other diagonal, and the diagonals are perpendicular to each other.

Front

If AC = 44 in kite ABCD, what is EC?

Back

EC = 22, since in a kite, the longer diagonal is bisected by the shorter diagonal.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

How do you determine if a quadrilateral is a trapezoid?

Back

A quadrilateral is a trapezoid if it has at least one pair of parallel sides.

Front

What is the formula for the perimeter of a trapezoid?

Back

The perimeter of a trapezoid is calculated by adding the lengths of all four sides: P = a + b + c + d.

Front

What is the difference between a kite and a rhombus?

Back

A kite has two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal, while a rhombus has all four sides equal in length.
