Kites and Trapezoids

Front

What is an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

An isosceles trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides and the non-parallel sides being congruent.

Front

What are the properties of a trapezoid?

Back

A trapezoid has at least one pair of parallel sides. The angles adjacent to each base are supplementary.

How do you find the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral?

Back

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

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.

Front

What is the definition of congruent sides?

Back

Congruent sides are sides that are equal in length.

Front

If one angle of an isosceles trapezoid is 63 degrees, what is the measure of the adjacent angle?

Back

The adjacent angle is 117 degrees, since the angles are supplementary.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles in an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

The angles adjacent to each base are equal, and the angles on the same side of the trapezoid are supplementary.
