Properties of 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 are the properties of the diagonals of a kite?

Back

The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular to each other, and one diagonal bisects the other.

Front

In a trapezoid, what is the relationship between the angles on the same side of a leg?

Back

The angles on the same side of a leg of a trapezoid are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What defines an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

An isosceles trapezoid has a pair of opposite sides that are parallel and the non-parallel sides (legs) are congruent.

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

If the legs of a trapezoid are congruent, what type of trapezoid is it?

Back

It is an isosceles trapezoid.

Front

What is the formula for finding the area of a trapezoid?

Back

Area = (1/2) * (Base1 + Base2) * Height.

Front

How do you find the measure of an angle 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 relationship between the bases of a trapezoid?

Back

The bases of a trapezoid are the two parallel sides.

Front

If one angle of a trapezoid is 117 degrees, what is the measure of the adjacent angle?

Back

The adjacent angle is 63 degrees, as they are supplementary.
