6-6 Trapezoids and Kites Objective: To verify and use properties of trapezoids and kites
Pair of base angles Bases Trapezoid: A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. Parallel sides are bases. Non parallel sides are legs. The two angles that share a base of a trapezoid are base angles.
The midsegment is parallel to the base. The length of the midsegment is half the sum of the lengths of the bases. also…
Example: x = 3
Isosceles trapezoid Each pair of base angles are congruent. It’s diagonals are congruent.
Each pair of base angles are congruent.
A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of consecutive sides congruent and no opposite sides congruent Kite 6-6 p. 394: 7-23 odd
