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 is an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid in which the non-parallel sides are equal in length.

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 find the midsegment of a trapezoid?

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 angles in a kite?

Back

In a kite, the angles between the unequal sides are equal, and the diagonals intersect at right angles.

Front

How do you calculate the angles in an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

In an isosceles trapezoid, the angles adjacent to each base are equal.

Front

What is the relationship between the diagonals of a kite?

Back

The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular to each other and one diagonal bisects the other.

Front

If one angle of a trapezoid is 120 degrees, what is the measure of the adjacent angle?

Back

The adjacent angle will be 60 degrees, as the sum of the angles on the same side of a trapezoid is 180 degrees.

Front

In kite ABCD, if m<BAD = 101 degrees and m<BCD = 49 degrees, what is m<ADC?

Back

m<ADC = 105 degrees.
