4. Definition of a kite A kite is a quadrilateral with TWO pairs of consecutive sides but NO pairs of opposite sides.

5. If kite, then diagonals are

7. In a kite, EXACTLY ONE pair of opp s

10. The angles are always between the noncongruent sides

11. In a kite, EXACTLY ONE diagonal is bisected

15. The diagonal that is bisected is always between the angles

16. Diagonals of kites (& rhombuses) make right triangles That means we can use the Pythagorean Theorem: 3 64 3

17. Diagonals of kites (& rhombuses) make right triangles That means we can use the Pythagorean Theorem: 3 64 3 Find AB & AD (they’re the same length) – 1 minute!

18. Diagonals of kites (& rhombuses) make right triangles That means we can use the Pythagorean Theorem: 3 64 3 AB = AD = 5

19. Diagonals of kites (& rhombuses) make right triangles That means we can use the Pythagorean Theorem: 3 64 3 Find BC & DC (they’re the same length) – 1 minute!

20. Diagonals of kites (& rhombuses) make right triangles That means we can use the Pythagorean Theorem: 3 64 3 BC = DC = 3 5
