Chapter 6.6: Trapezoids and Kites

Question 1

base

Answer 1

parallel sides of trapezoid

Question 2

leg

Answer 2

non parallel sides of a trapezoid

Question 3

Base angles

Answer 3

formed by base and one of the legs

A pair of base angles is formed by the same base

Question 4

Isosceles Trapezoid

Answer 4

legs cong
both pairs of base angles cong (just need one pair of cong. base angles to prove quad. is isocles trapezoid)
diagonals cong

Question 5

Mid segment of A Trapezoid

Answer 5

segment that connects midpoints of the legs of a trapezoid
parallel to each base
measure is 1/2 sum of the bases

Question 6

Kite

Answer 6

two pairs of consective cong. sides
diagonals perp.
EXACTLY one pair of opp. cong. angles
Quadrilateral

Question 7

Trapezoid

Answer 7

quad. with one pair of parallel sides

Question 8

How to tell if a Quadrilateral in a Coordinate Plane is a Trapezoid? Isosceles Tapeziod?

Answer 8

1) See if slopes of opposite sides are the same (parallel). If one pair of sides is parallel and the other isn’t, then the shape is a trapezoid.
2. Use the distance form. To see if the legs are cong. For Isosceles Trapezoid
