Obj. 28 Kites & Trapezoids
The student is able to (I can):
Use properties of kites and trapezoids to solve problems
kite A quadrilateral with exactly two pairs of congruent consecutive nonparallel sides.
Note: In order for a quadrilateral to be a kite, nononono sides can be parallel and opposite sides cannot be congruent.
If a quadrilateral is a kite, then its diagonals are perpendicular.
If a quadrilateral is a kite, then exactly one pair of opposite angles is congruent.
Example In kite NAVY, mYNA=54 and mVYX=52. Find each measure.
1. mNVY90 52 = 38
2. mXYN
3. mNAV63 + 52 = 115

Isosceles Trapezoid Theorems
If a quadrilateral is an isosceles trapezoid, then each pair of base angles is congruent.
If a trapezoid has one pair of congruent base angles, then the trapezoid is isosceles.
A trapezoid is isosceles if and only if its diagonals are congruent.

Trapezoid Midsegment Theorem
The midsegment of a trapezoid is parallel to each base, and its length is one half the sum of the lengths of the bases.
