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 is the property of the diagonals in a kite?

Back

The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular to each other.

Front

How many congruent triangles are formed by the diagonals of a kite?

Back

The diagonals of a kite form two pairs of congruent triangles.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles in a kite?

Back

The angles between the unequal sides of a kite are congruent.

Front

What does it mean for two sides to be congruent?

Back

Two sides are congruent if they have the same length.

Front

If one diagonal of a kite bisects the other, what does this imply?

Back

It implies that the two triangles formed by the diagonals are congruent.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

If the lengths of the diagonals of a kite are 10 and 8, what is the area?

Back

Area = (10 * 8) / 2 = 40 square units.

Front

What is the significance of the diagonals being perpendicular in a kite?

Back

It allows for the formation of right triangles, which can be useful in calculations.

Front

In a kite, if one angle is 70 degrees, what are the measures of the other angles?

Back

The other two angles adjacent to the 70-degree angle are also 70 degrees, and the opposite angle is 180 - 70 - 70 = 40 degrees.
