6.2 Review 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 an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid with one pair of parallel sides and the non-parallel sides are congruent.

Front

How do you calculate the area of a trapezoid?

Back

The area of a trapezoid can be calculated using the formula: \( A = \frac{1}{2} (b_1 + b_2) h \), where \( b_1 \) and \( b_2 \) are the lengths of the two parallel sides and \( h \) is the height.

Front

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

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360 degrees.

Front

What is the relationship between the diagonals of a kite?

Back

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

Front

What defines a trapezoid?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for the area of a kite?

Back

The area of a kite can be calculated using the formula: \( A = \frac{1}{2} d_1 d_2 \), where \( d_1 \) and \( d_2 \) are the lengths of the diagonals.

Front

What is a rhombus?

Back

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all four sides of equal length and opposite angles that are equal.

Front

How can you identify an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

An isosceles trapezoid can be identified by having one pair of parallel sides and the non-parallel sides being equal in length.

Front

What is the difference between a kite and a rhombus?

Back

While both kites and rhombuses have pairs of equal sides, a kite has two distinct pairs of adjacent sides that are equal, whereas a rhombus has all four sides equal.
