Trapezoids and Kites

Page 2: Honors Geometry Section 4.5 (3) Trapezoids and Kites.

Two special types of quadrilaterals that are NOT parallelograms are

trapezoids and kites.

Page 3: Honors Geometry Section 4.5 (3) Trapezoids and Kites.

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of opposite sides parallel.

The sides that are parallel are called _______.

The nonparallel sides are called ______.

The angles at each end of a base are called _____________.

bases

legs

base angles

Page 4: Honors Geometry Section 4.5 (3) Trapezoids and Kites.

A midsegment of a trapezoid is the segment joining the midpoints of

the two legs.

Page 5: Honors Geometry Section 4.5 (3) Trapezoids and Kites.

Theorem The midsegment of a trapezoid is parallel

to the bases and the length of the midsegment is equal to ½ the sum of the

bases.

An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid that has congruent legs.

Page 7: Honors Geometry Section 4.5 (3) Trapezoids and Kites.

Theorem In an isosceles trapezoid, the base angles that share a common base are congruent.

Note: For any trapezoid the angles that share a common leg are _____________.supplementary

A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of congruent adjacent sides and noncongruent opposite sides.

Theorem

The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular.
