Kite o special kind of rhombus
with right angles
- special kind of trapezium o considered a rectangle
- two pairs of distinct congruent because two adjacent sides
consecutive sides are equal
- one pair of opposite angles are o has 4 right angles (90°
congruent each) and 4 equal sides
- two pairs of congruent sides that meet
at two different points o sides and angles are equal
- example: o example:
̅̅̅̅ is congruent to 𝐔𝐓
𝐂𝐔 ̅̅̅̅ <S, <Q, <U, and <A are right
̅̅̅̅ is congruent to 𝐄𝐂

Property 3
- in a rhombus, the diagonals are
perpendicular and they bisect each
other Trapezoid
- example: - a quadrilateral with exactly one pair
of parallel sides
̅̅̅̅
TK ⊥ ̅̅̅̅
AE - base = parallel sides
̅AS
̅̅̅ ≅ ̅̅̅
SE - legs = nonparallel sides
- base angles = pair of angles formed by
̅̅̅ ̅̅̅̅
TS ≅ SK the legs and a base
Altitude of Trapezoid
Property 4 - is any segment from a point on one base
- the diagonals of a square bisect each perpendicular to the line containing
other and are congruent and the other base
perpendicular - is basically the height of the trapezoid
- example:
Median/Midline of Trapezoid
̅̅̅̅ ⊥ IE
FN ̅ - is the segment that joins the midpoints
of the legs
̅̅̅̅ ≅ IE
FN ̅ - example:
bases: CO ̅̅̅̅ and IV ̅ • any lower base angle is supplementary
̅ and ̅̅̅̅ to any upper base angle
legs: CI OV
base angles: <C, <O,
<V, and <I TURO is an isosceles trapezoid
altitude: ̅̅̅̅ ET <T and <U are the upper base
midline: ̅̅̅̅ DN angles
<R and <O are the lower base
