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 is the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral?

Back

360 degrees.

Front

What is a trapezoid?

Back

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides.

Front

How do you find the missing angle in a trapezoid?

Back

Use the property that the sum of the interior angles of a trapezoid is 360 degrees.

Front

What are the properties of the angles in a kite?

Back

The angles between the unequal sides are equal, and the angles between the equal sides are also equal.

Front

If one angle of a trapezoid is 65 degrees, what is the sum of the other three angles?

Back

295 degrees.

Front

What is the relationship between the diagonals of a kite?

Back

The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular to each other.

Front

How do you calculate the area of a kite?

Back

Area = (d1 * d2) / 2, where d1 and d2 are the lengths of the diagonals.

Front

What is the formula for the sum of the interior angles of any polygon?

Back

(n - 2) * 180 degrees, where n is the number of sides.

Front

In a trapezoid, if one pair of angles is supplementary, what does that mean?

Back

It means that the sum of the angles is 180 degrees.
