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 are the properties of a trapezoid?

Back

A trapezoid has at least one pair of parallel sides and the sum of the angles in a trapezoid is 360 degrees.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Use the properties of parallel lines and triangles, or apply the trapezoid area formula.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles in a trapezoid?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean for diagonals to be perpendicular in a kite?

Back

In a kite, the diagonals intersect at right angles (90 degrees).

Front

How many pairs of congruent angles does a kite have?

Back

A kite has one pair of congruent angles.

Front

What is the significance of the diagonals in a kite?

Back

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

Front

If the angles of a trapezoid are 70°, 110°, 70°, and x°, what is the value of x?

Back

x = 110°.

Front

What is the measure of the angles in an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

In an isosceles trapezoid, the base angles are equal.
