Properties of Trapezoids and Kites

Front

What is a trapezoid?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The sum of all four angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degrees.

Front

If one angle of a trapezoid is 92 degrees, what is the measure of the other angle if the angles are supplementary?

Back

The other angle would be 88 degrees.

Front

What is the definition of a kite in geometry?

Back

A kite is a quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of adjacent sides that are equal.

Front

How do you find the measure of an unknown angle in a trapezoid?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

In an isosceles trapezoid, the base angles are equal.

Front

If the angles of a trapezoid are 118 degrees and 118 degrees, what is the measure of the other two angles?

Back

The other two angles would each measure 62 degrees.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?

Back

Area = 1/2 * (base1 + base2) * height.

Front

What is the difference between a trapezoid and a parallelogram?

Back

A trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides, while a parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides.

Front

If two angles of a quadrilateral are 90 degrees each, what is the sum of the other two angles?

Back

The sum of the other two angles would be 180 degrees.
