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 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.

What is an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid in which the non-parallel sides (legs) are equal in length.

Front

What are the properties of an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

1. The base angles are congruent. 2. The diagonals are congruent. 3. The legs are equal in length.

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 one angle of a kite is 90 degrees, what can be said about the other angles?

Back

The other angles must be equal, and the sum of the angles must equal 360 degrees.

What is the relationship between the base angles of an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

The base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.

Front

How do you find the value of x in a kite when given angles?

Back

Use the properties of kites, knowing that the angles opposite the equal sides are equal and the sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degrees.

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.

What is the significance of congruent diagonals in a kite?

Back

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