Properties of 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 is a trapezoid?

Back

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

Front

What are the properties of an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

In an isosceles trapezoid, the non-parallel sides are equal in length, and the base angles are equal.

Front

How do you find the missing angle in an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

The sum of the angles in any quadrilateral is 360 degrees. Use this property along with the fact that the base angles are equal.

Front

If one angle of an isosceles trapezoid is 120 degrees, what are the measures of the other angles?

Back

The other two angles are also 120 degrees, and the remaining angle is 120 degrees.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?

Front

What is the relationship between the angles in a trapezoid?

Back

In a trapezoid, the sum of the angles on the same side of the transversal is 180 degrees.

Front

How do you determine the length of the diagonals in a kite?

Back

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

Front

What is the measure of the angles 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

If the lengths of the sides of a kite are 10 cm and 6 cm, how do you find the area?
