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 to each other.

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 length of the bases in a trapezoid?

Back

The length of the bases can be found using the formula: (Base1 + Base2) / 2 = Height, where Height is the distance between the bases.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles in a trapezoid?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean for diagonals to be perpendicular?

Back

Diagonals are perpendicular if they intersect at a right angle (90 degrees).

Front

How do you determine if a quadrilateral is a kite?

Back

A quadrilateral is a kite if it has two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length.

Front

What is the measure of 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 is the significance of the diagonals in a kite?

Back

The diagonals of a kite intersect at right angles and one diagonal bisects the other.
