Kites and 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 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 an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

In an isosceles trapezoid, the legs are congruent, the base angles are equal, and the diagonals are also congruent.

Front

How do you find the measure of an angle in a trapezoid?

Back

To find the measure of an angle in a trapezoid, you can use the properties of supplementary angles and the fact that the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does it mean for sides to be congruent?

Back

Congruent sides are sides that are equal in length.

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 can you determine if a quadrilateral is a kite?

Back

A quadrilateral is a kite if it has two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?

Back

The area of a trapezoid can be calculated using the formula: Area = (1/2) * (b1 + b2) * h, where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two parallel sides and h is the height.

Front

What is the difference between a kite and a trapezoid?

Back

A kite has two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal, while a trapezoid has at least one pair of parallel sides.
