Mrs. Kim's Trapezoids and Kites

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 kite?

Back

1. Two pairs of adjacent sides are equal. 2. The diagonals intersect at right angles. 3. One diagonal bisects the other.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a kite?

Back

Area = (d1 * d2) / 2, where d1 and d2 are the lengths of the diagonals.

Front

What is an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid with non-parallel sides that are equal in length.

Front

What are the properties of an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

1. Base angles are congruent. 2. The diagonals are equal in length.

Front

What is the definition of a trapezoid?

Back

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

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

What are the base angles of an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

The base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.

Front

If one angle of a trapezoid is 65 degrees, what is the measure of the other angle if the trapezoid is isosceles?

Back

The other angle is also 65 degrees, making the sum of the angles 130 degrees.

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.
