Sect 6-6 Trapezoids and Kites
Trapezoid: quadrilateral has exactly 1 pair of parallel sides
Bases: parallel sides
Legs: nonparallel sides
Base angles: pair of angles on/part of the same base
Isosceles Trapezoid: trapezoid with congruent legs
1
sect 6-6.ink
If a trapezoid is isosceles, then
Each pair of base angles are congruent
Diagonals are congruent
2
sect 6-6.ink
Midsegment of a trapezoid: segment that connects the midpoints
of the legs
Midsegment is parallel to the bases
Length is one half the sum of the bases
3
sect 6-6.ink
Kite: quadrilateral with exactly 2 pairs of consecutive congruent sides
Opposite sides are not congruent or parallel
Diagonals of a kite are perpendicular
Exactly on pair of opposite angles are congruent
(angles are between 2 noncongruent sides)
