Study Notes
Trapezoid and Kites
- Trapezoids and kites are quadrilaterals that are not parallelograms
- A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides
- The parallel sides of a trapezoid are called bases
- The non-parallel sides are called legs
- Base angles are the angles that share a common base
- An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid with legs of equal length
- The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent
- A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent congruent sides
- The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular
- One diagonal of a kite bisects the other diagonal
- The non-vertex angles of a kite are congruent
- The area of a kite is one-half the product of its diagonal lengths
