6.6 Notes

This document defines and provides properties of kites and trapezoids: 1) A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of consecutive congruent sides but opposite sides are not congruent. Properties include perpendicular diagonals and diagonals that bisect vertex and non-vertex angles. 2) A trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides. Properties include supplementary leg angles and congruent base angles in an isosceles trapezoid. 3) Examples demonstrate using properties to find missing angle measures and side lengths of kites and trapezoids.

Isosceles Trapezoid

Definition - A trapezoid with congruent legs.


Isosceles Trapezoid - Properties

1) Base Angles Are Congruent


2) Diagonals Are Congruent

Example

P Q

PQRS is an isosceles trapezoid. Find m


P, m Q and mR.
m R = 50 since base angles are congruent

mP = 130 and mQ = 130 (consecutive angles


of parallel lines cut by a transversal are )
Find the measures of the

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to
find the side lengths. Z

122 + 202 = (WX)2 122 + 122 = (XY)2


144 + 400 = (WX)2 144 + 144 = (XY)2
544 = (WX)2 288 = (XY)2
WX = 4 34 XY =12 2

Find mG and mJ.

H 132 60 K

Since GHJK is a kite G  J G

So 2(mG) + 132 + 60 = 360

2(mG) =168
mG = 84 and mJ = 84
