Trapezoid and Kite Scavenger Hunt

Front

What is a trapezoid?

Back

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

Front

What are the properties of a kite?

Back

A kite is a quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length. The diagonals intersect at right angles.

Front

How do you find the area of a trapezoid?

Back

The area of a trapezoid can be found using the formula: Area = (1/2) * (Base1 + Base2) * Height.

Front

What is the formula for the perimeter of a trapezoid?

Back

The perimeter of a trapezoid is the sum of the lengths of all its sides: P = a + b + c + d.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles in a trapezoid?

Back

In a trapezoid, the angles on the same side of the non-parallel sides are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).

Front

How do you solve for a variable in a kite's properties?

Back

To solve for a variable in a kite, use the properties of the kite, such as the equality of the lengths of the sides and the relationships between the angles.

Front

What is the significance of the diagonals in a kite?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the length of a diagonal in a kite?

Back

To find the length of a diagonal in a kite, use the Pythagorean theorem if the lengths of the sides are known.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a kite?

Back

The area of a kite can be calculated using the formula: Area = (1/2) * (Diagonal1 * Diagonal2).

Front

What is the difference between a trapezoid and a parallelogram?

Back

A trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides, while a parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides.
