6-6 Properties of Kites and Trapezoids - GEOMETRY

The video tutorial covers special parallelograms, including rectangles, rhombuses, and squares, and introduces kites and trapezoids. It explains the unique properties of kites, such as perpendicular diagonals and consecutive congruent sides. The tutorial also defines trapezoids, highlighting their single pair of parallel sides and base angles. It further explores isosceles trapezoids, emphasizing congruent legs and supplementary angles. Finally, the video discusses the midsegment of a trapezoid, explaining its relationship with the bases.

Which of the following is a characteristic of a rectangle?

• All sides are congruent

• Diagonals are perpendicular

• All angles are 90 degrees

• One pair of parallel sides

What is a defining feature of a kite?

• Diagonals are perpendicular

• One pair of parallel sides

• All sides are equal

• All angles are equal

In a kite, what does 'consecutive congruent sides' mean?

• Sides opposite each other are equal

• Sides next to each other are equal

• All sides are equal

• No sides are equal

What is the main property of a trapezoid?

• Two pairs of parallel sides

• One pair of parallel sides

• All sides are congruent

• Diagonals are equal

In a trapezoid, what are the non-parallel sides called?

• Bases

• Legs

• Angles

• Diagonals

What is a unique feature of an isosceles trapezoid?

• Legs are congruent

• Diagonals are perpendicular

• All angles are 90 degrees

• All sides are equal

How is the midsegment of a trapezoid related to its bases?

• It is equal to the sum of the bases

• It is half the sum of the bases

• It is twice the sum of the bases

• It is unrelated to the bases
