Exploring Kite Theorems and Measurements

The video tutorial covers the properties and theorems related to kites, a type of quadrilateral with two pairs of congruent consecutive sides. It explains that the diagonals of a kite are perpendicular and that one pair of opposite angles are congruent. The tutorial includes two example problems: one to find angle BCD using the properties of isosceles triangles, and another to find angle ABC using the angle sum property of quadrilaterals.

What is the definition of a kite in geometry?

• A quadrilateral with all angles equal

• A quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides

• A quadrilateral with all sides equal

• A quadrilateral with two pairs of congruent consecutive sides

Which sides are congruent in kite ABCD?

• AB and DC, BC and AD

• AB and BC, AD and DC

• AB and AD, BC and DC

• AB and CD, BC and AD

What is the first theorem about kites?

• The diagonals are perpendicular

• The opposite angles are equal

• The opposite sides are parallel

• The diagonals are equal

In kite ABCD, which angles are congruent according to the second theorem?

• Angles A and B

• Angles B and D

• Angles A and C

• Angles C and D

If angle CDB is 52°, what is the measure of angle BCD in kite ABCD?

• 128°

• 76°

• 104°

What type of triangle is formed at the top part of the kite when two sides are congruent?

• Equilateral triangle

• Right triangle

How do you find the measure of congruent angles in a kite if you know the other two angles?

• Add the known angles and subtract from 360°, then divide by 2

• Add the known angles and divide by 2

• Multiply the known angles

• Subtract the known angles from 180°
