3. Objectives Use properties of kites to solve problems.
Use properties of trapezoids to solve problems.

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

6. Example 1: Problem-Solving Application
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?

7. Understand the Problem
Example 1 Continued 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 .

9. Example 1 Continued
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.

10. Example 1 Continued 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.
