Trapezoids and Kites

Front

What is a trapezoid?

Back

A trapezoid is a four-sided figure (quadrilateral) with at least one pair of parallel sides.

Front

What is the midsegment of a trapezoid?

Back

The midsegment of a trapezoid is the line segment that connects the midpoints of the non-parallel sides and is parallel to the bases. Its length is the average of the lengths of the two bases.

Front

How do you find the length of the midsegment in a trapezoid?

Back

The length of the midsegment (M) can be calculated using the formula: M = (b1 + b2) / 2, where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two bases.

Front

What are the properties of an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

An isosceles trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides, congruent non-parallel sides, and the angles adjacent to each base are congruent.

Front

What is the sum of the interior angles of a trapezoid?

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a trapezoid is 360 degrees.

Front

In a kite, what is true about the diagonals?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between 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

How do you calculate the area of a trapezoid?

Back

The area (A) of a trapezoid can be calculated using the formula: A = (b1 + b2) / 2 * h, where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the bases and h is the height.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a kite?

Back

The area (A) of a kite can be calculated using the formula: A = (d1 * d2) / 2, where d1 and d2 are the lengths of the diagonals.

Front

What is the definition of congruent angles?

Back

Congruent angles are angles that have the same measure.
