6-5 Trapezoids and Kites M11.C C Objectives: 1) To verify and use properties of trapezoids and kites.
Trapezoid Properties The parallel sides are its bases, and the nonparallel sides its legs. Two angles that share a base of a trapezoid are base angles.
Theorem The base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.
Example XYZW is an isosceles trapezoid m ∠X = 156° m∠Y m∠Z m∠W
Theorems The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent. The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular.
Example Isosceles trapezoid ABCD has diagonal AC and BD. AC = x + 5 and BD = 2x – 13. Find x.
Example Find m ∠1, m∠2 and m∠3
