6-6 review: 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. The diagonals intersect at right angles. 2. One diagonal bisects the other. 3. One pair of opposite angles are equal.

Front

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 base angles of an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

The base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.

Front

What is the midsegment of a trapezoid?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate the length of the midsegment of a trapezoid?

Back

The length of the midsegment is half the sum of the lengths of the bases.

Front

What is the relationship between the diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid 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

If one angle of a trapezoid is 70 degrees, what is the measure of the opposite angle?

Back

The opposite angle is also 70 degrees if the trapezoid is isosceles.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?

Back

Area = (1/2) * (Base1 + Base2) * Height.
