Kites & 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 a trapezoid?

Back

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

Front

What is the midsegment of a trapezoid?

Back

The midsegment of a trapezoid is the segment that connects the midpoints of the non-parallel sides and is parallel to the bases.

Front

How do you find the length of the midsegment in a trapezoid?

Back

The length of the midsegment is the average of the lengths of the two bases: (Base1 + Base2) / 2.

Front

What is true about the diagonals of a kite?

Back

The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular to each other.

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

What does it mean for diagonals to bisect each other?

Back

When diagonals bisect each other, they cut each other into two equal parts.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a kite?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of congruent sides in a kite?

Back

In a kite, the two pairs of adjacent sides are congruent, which helps in determining properties like angles and diagonals.

Front

What is a base angle in a trapezoid?

Back

A base angle in a trapezoid is an angle that is adjacent to one of the bases.
