Trapezoids and Kites

Learning Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to: Example 2: If KB = 15, JB = 5, find FM.
1. explain midline theorem and the different theorems on
trapezoids and kites;
2. solve problems involving midline theorem, trapezoids Example 3: Find m∠F.
and kites; and
3. show interest in learning through active participation. A kite is defined as a quadrilateral with two pairs of
adjacent and congruent sides. Note that a rhombus

Theorem 5. The Midline Theorem states that “the segment that kite.
joins the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third
side and half as long”.

The midline (sometimes called mid-segment), is the segment

joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.

There are two theorems related to kites as follows:

Theorem 10. In a kite, the perpendicular bisector of at least one
diagonal is the other diagonal.

Example 3: If ̅̅̅̅ ̅̅̅̅?

is the midpoint of AC. So, PQ is a midline.
Theorem 11. The area of a kite is half the product of the lengths

parallelogram is the trapezoid.

A Trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of

parallel sides. The parallel sides of a trapezoid are called
the bases and the non-parallel sides are called the legs.
The angles formed by a base and a leg are called base
angles.
Example: If BD = 7cm and AC = 13cm, what is its area?
