Lesson Objective: Apply properties of kites.
CCSS: G.GPE.4, G.MG.3
You will need: colored pens, compass, ruler
Real-World App: About how much wood will be left over after cutting a dowel to make a kite?
This is Jeopardy!!!: This is what is formed by perpendicular lines.

2. Lesson 1: Properties of Kites
Drop down about 4 lines. Draw diagonal AC 3.5” long.
A C
1.5” 2.5”

3. Lesson 1: Properties of Kites
Mea­sure your compass to 1.5”. Anchor at A and draw an arc on each side of AC.
A C
1.5” 2.5”

4. Lesson 1: Properties of Kites
Measure your compass to 2.5”. Anchor at C and draw an arc on each side of AC.
A C
1.5” 2.5”

5. Lesson 1: Properties of Kites
Connect the mar­kings to construct kite ABCD. Draw diagonal BD in blue.

7. Lesson 1: Properties of Kites
What other marks can we make?
  B
A C D

8. Lesson 1: Properties of Kites
Properties/Conditions of Kites:
1) Diags. |
2) 1 pair opp. / s
Also, one diag. bisects other pair opp. / s and the other diag.

A C D

9. Lesson 2: Using Properties of Kites
In kite ABCD, m/ DAB = 54° and m/ CDF = 52°. Find each measure.
m/ BCD
m/ ABC
m/ FDA 

10. Lesson 3: Real-World App.
Lucy is framing a kite
with wooden dowels
with measurements
as shown. She has a
dowel that is 36 cm
long to use for KL.
About how much
wood will she have
left over after cutting
that dowel?
