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 are perpendicular, and one diagonal bisects the other.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles in an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

In an isosceles trapezoid, the base angles are congruent.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

How do you determine if a quadrilateral is a parallelogram?

Back

A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.

Front

What is the significance of the diagonals in a kite?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?

Back

The area of a trapezoid can be calculated using the formula: Area = (1/2) * (b1 + b2) * h, where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two parallel sides and h is the height.

Front

What is a key difference between kites and trapezoids?

Back

Kites have two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal, while trapezoids have at least one pair of parallel sides.

Front

What does it mean for angles to be congruent?

Back

Congruent angles are angles that have the same measure.

Front

What is the relationship between the diagonals of a trapezoid?

Back

In a trapezoid, the diagonals are not necessarily equal and do not bisect each other.
