Use Properties of Trapezoids and Kites
Trapezoid
Quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides (bases)
If the legs of a trapezoid are congruent, then it is an isosceles trapezoid

Base angles
Isosceles Trapezoid Theorems
If a trapezoid is isosceles, then each pair of base angles is congruent
If a trapezoid has a pair of congruent base angles, then it is and isosceles trapezoid.
A trapezoid is isosceles iff its diagonals are congruent.
Midsegment of a trapezoid
The segment that connects the midpoints of its legs
Midsegment Theorem for Trapezoids
The midsegment of a trapezoid is parallel to each base and its length is one half the sum of the lengths of the bases
Kite
A quadrilateral that has two pairs of consecutive congruent sides, but opposite sides are not congruent
Kite Diagonal Theorem
If a quadrilateral is a kite, then its diagonals are perpendicular
Theorem
If a quadrilateral is a kite, then exactly one pair of opposite angles are congruent
