Definition-a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. Leg Leg Base Base A B CD › › Trapezoid
4
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. Each of the parallel sides is called a base. The nonparallel sides are called legs. Base angles of a trapezoid are two consecutive angles whose common side is a base.
5
Properties of A Trapezoid Bases are parallel Leg angles are supplementary. The mid-segment or median is parallel to the bases and is located halfway between them. The length of the median (mid- segment) is the average of the length of the bases.

<A + <C = 180 <A + <C = 180 <B + <D = 180 <B + <D = 180 A B CD › › Leg Angles are Supplementary Property of a Trapezoid
7
Isosceles Trapezoid Definition - A trapezoid with congruent legs.
8
Isosceles Trapezoid Isosceles trapezoid – A trapezoid where the legs are . Leg Base 2 Base 1
9
Isosceles Trapezoid - Properties | | 1) Base Angles Are Congruent 2) Diagonals Are Congruent
10
The base s of an isosceles trapezoid are . Consecutive Interior s 1 2 34 m 1 + m 3 = 180 m 2 + m 4 = 180 m 1 = m 2 m 3 = m 4
11
Example PQRS is an isosceles trapezoid. Find m P, m Q and mR. m R = 50 since base angles are congruent m P = 130 and m Q = 130 (consecutive angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal are )
12
Find the measures of the angles in trapezoid 48 m< A = 132 m< B = 132 m< D = 48
13
Example 1: Find the length of VT S V UT SU = x + 2 VT = 2x – 1 SU = VT x + 2 = 2x – 1 x = 3 VT = 2x – 1 = 2(3) – 1 = 6 – 1 = 5
14
Example 2: Find the measure of the 3 missing angles. 156 X Y Z W m Z = m X = m Y = 156 24 m W + m X = 180 156 + m X = 180 m X = 24
15
Find BE AC = 17.5, AE = 9.6 E
16
Definition Kite – a quadrilateral that has two pairs of consecutive congruent sides, but opposite sides are not congruent.
17
Parts of a Kite Vertex angles: <B & <D Non-Vertex diagonal CA Non-Vertex angles: <A & <C Vertex diagonal BD
18
Properties of Kites The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular Non-vertex angles (a)are congruent Vertex diagonal bisects the vertex angles Vertex diagonal bisects the non-vertex diagonal
19
Perpendicular Diagonals of a Kite If a quadrilateral is a kite, then its diagonals are perpendicular.
20
Non-Vertex Angles of a Kite If a quadrilateral is a kite, then non- vertex angles are congruent A C, B D
21
Vertex diagonals bisect vertex angles If a quadrilateral is a kite then the vertex diagonal bisects the vertex angles.
22
Vertex diagonal bisects the non-vertex diagonal If a quadrilateral is a kite then the vertex diagonal bisects the non-vertex diagonal
23
Example Find the side lengths of the kite.
24
Example Continued We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the side lengths. 12 2 + 20 2 = (WX) 2 144 + 400 = (WX) 2 544 = (WX) 2 12 2 + 12 2 = (XY) 2 144 + 144 = (XY) 2 288 = (XY) 2
25
Find the lengths of the sides of the kite W X Y Z 4 55 8
26
Find the lengths of the sides of kite to the nearest tenth 4 2 2 7
27
Example 3 Find mG and mJ. Since GHJK is a kite G J So 2(m G) + 132 + 60 = 360 2(m G) =168 m G = 84 and m J = 84
29
Try This! RSTU is a kite. Find mR, mS and mT. x +30 + 125 + 125 + x = 360 2x + 280 = 360 2x = 80 x = 40 So m R = 70 , m T = 40 and m S = 125
32
Try These 1. If <A = 134, find m<D 2. m<C = x +12 and m<B = 3x – 2, find x and the measures of the 2 angles m<D = 46 x = 42.5 m<C = 54.5 m<B = 125.5
33
Using Properties of Trapezoids Find the area of this trapezoid. When working with a trapezoid, the height may be measured anywhere between the two bases. Also, beware of "extra" information. The 35 and 28 are not needed to compute this area. Area of trapezoid = A = ½ * 26 * (20 + 42) A = 806
34
Using Properties of Trapezoids Find the area of a trapezoid with bases of 10 in and 14 in, and a height of 5 in. Example 2
38
Using Properties of Kites Area Kite = one-half product of diagonals
39
Using Properties of Kites Example 6 E 2 44 4 ABCD is a Kite. a) Find the lengths of all the sides. b)Find the area of the Kite.
