2. TEKS Focus:
(5)(A) Investigate patterns to make conjectures about geometric relationships, including angles formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal, criteria required for triangle congruence, special segments of triangles, diagonals of quadrilaterals, interior and exterior angles of polygons, and special segments and angles of circles choosing from a variety of tools.
(1)(F) Analyze mathematical relationships to connect and communicate mathematical ideas.
(1)(C) Select tools, including real objects, manipulatives paper and pencil, and technology as appropriate, and techniques, including mental math, estimations, and number sense as appropriate, to solve problems.

3. 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.

6. The midsegment of a trapezoid is the segment whose endpoints are the midpoints of the legs.

7. A kite is a quadrilateral with exactly two pairs of congruent consecutive sides.

10. Example: 1
Lucy is framing a kite with wooden dowels. She uses two dowels that measure 18 cm, one dowel that measures 30 cm, and two dowels that measure 27 cm. To complete the kite, she needs a dowel to place along She has a dowel that is 36 cm long. About how much wood will she have left after cutting the last dowel? Round to the nearest tenth.

11. Understand the Problem
Example: 1cont. 1
Understand the Problem
The answer will be the amount of wood Lucy has left after cutting the dowel. 2
Make a Plan
The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular, so the four triangles are right triangles. Let N represent the intersection of the diagonals. Use the Pythagorean Theorem and the properties of kites to find and Add these lengths to find the length of

12. Example: 1cont. 3 Solve N bisects JM. Pythagorean Thm.

13. Example: 1cont.
Lucy needs to cut the dowel to be 32.4 cm long. The amount of wood that will remain after the cut is,
36 – 32.4  3.6 cm
Lucy will have 3.6 cm of wood left over after the cut. 4
Look Back
To estimate the length of the diagonal, change the side length into decimals and round , and The length of the diagonal is approximately = 32. So the wood remaining is approximately 36 – 32 = 4. So 3.6 is a reasonable answer.
