Title of activity: Finding length of a midline/ median of a trapezoid

Finding area and the missing sides of a kite.

Topic 1
The midline or median of a trapezoid is parallel to its bases, and its length is half the sum of the
length of the bases.
A B
The figure at the right is trapezoid ABCD

and are the bases. E F

and are the legs.
// //
Point E is the midpoint of and point D C
F isthe midpoint of
is the midline or median of a trapezoid

Sample 1: Given ROME at the right. Find

Sample 2: Refer to the figure at the right: Trapezoid APEX with median TI.
Given: A P
AP = 3x + 3
TI = 4x + 2
and EX = 6x T I
–2
Find TI
X E
Solution: TI = ½ (AP + EX)
4x + 2 = ½ [(3x + 3) + (6x -2)]
4x + 2 = ½ (9x +1)
2(4x +2) = ½ (9x + 1)2 (multiplying both sides by 2 in order to eliminate the
denominator.) 8x + 4 =9x + 1
4 -1 = 9x – 8x
3 = x or
x = 3 units
therefore, TI = 4x +
2
= 4 (3) + 2 substituting the value of x which is 3.
= 12 + 2
TI = 14 units
Activity 1. Using trapezoid CAKE at the right.
Identify what is asked:

1. The bases of trapezoid CAKE

CA and EK.

2. The legs of Trapezoid CAKE are

CF and AK.

3. The median of Trapezoid CAKE is OT.

Activity 2: Problem Solving: Refer to Trapezoid CAKE above (3 points each).

1. AC = 16 and EK = 20, solve OT. 4. AC = 2x + 1, OT = 5x + 1, and EK = 3x – 2. OT =?

OT = 1/2 (AC + EK) 5x + 1= 1/2 (2x + 1 + 3x – 2)
= 1/2 (16 + 20) 5x + 1= 1/2 (5x-1)
= 1/2 (36) 2(5x+1) = (5x+1)
OT = 18 10x+2= 5x+1
=5x-1; x= 1/5
OT= 5(1/5)+1
OT= 2

2. AC = 12 and EK = 15, solve OT. 5. AC =4x, OT = 5x - 1 and EK = 5x + 3. OT =?

OT= ½ (AC + EK) 5x - 1= 1/2 (4x + 5x+3)
OT= ½ (12 +15) 5x - 1= 1/2 (9x+3)
OT= ½ (27) 2(5x-1) = (9x+3)
OT= 13.5 10x-2= 9x+3
=x-5; x= 5
OT= 5(5)-1
OT= 24
3. OT = 40 and AC = 28, solve EK.
40= ½ (28 + EK)
2(40)= (28+EK)
80=28+EK
EK=80-28
EK= 52

Topic 2
Kite is a quadrilateral that is neither a parallelogram nor trapezoid. It has two pairs of
consecutive
congruent side. One diagonal of a kite is the perpendicular bisector of the other diagonal. Opposite
sides of a KITE are never congruent. However, only a pair of opposite angles are congruent in a
kite.

The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular.

The area of a kite is half the product of the length of its diagonal.

Sample 2: EC = 6, AB = 5 and EB = 4. Solve for the

following;

1. AE = ? 3. AC=? 5. Area of kite

ABCD. 2. BD =? 4. BC =?

Solution:
1. Since AB = 5 and EB = 4, then we will 3. AC = (AE + CE)
use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for =3+6
AE which is c2 = a2 + b2. = 9 units
(AB)2 = (AE)2 + (BE)2
(5)2 = (AE)2 + (4)2
25 = (AE)2 + 16
25 – 16 =(AE)2 4. To find BC use
9 = (AE)2 extracting square root. Pythagorean theorem.
√9 = AE Follow procedure problem
3 = AE or 1.
AE = 3 units

5. since AC = 9 ang BD
2. since BE = 4, then =8
So, area of kite ABCD =
BD = 2(EB) (9)
= 2(4) =
= 8 units. = 36(72

Activity 1: Determine whether each statement is true or false. If false, give your
justification/explanation.

True 1. A kite is a polygon.

False, quadrilaterals may either be a square, rectangle or rhoumbus 2. Every quadrilateral is a kite.
False, it should be half of the product of the length of diagonals 3. The area of a kite is equal to the
product of the length of its diagonals.
