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?

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.

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.

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.

28. 6.5 Trapezoids and Kites
If the legs of a trapezoid are congruent, the trapezoid is an isosceles trapezoid. The following theorems state the properties of an isosceles trapezoid.
