6.6 Notes Day 1 - Properties of Kites and Trapezoids

What do you know already?! Please list (or draw a picture of) everything you know about kites and trapezoids!

Kites Trapezoids

If you place two isosceles ∆’s together (base-to-base), you make a quadrilateral called a _________!

a) In the kite to the right, which sides appear to be congruent?

b) Are the congruent sides opposite or consecutive?

c) Draw in the altitudes of the ∆s and include the appropriate marks.

What must be true about the diagonals of the kite?

d) Which ’s of the ∆ are ?

e) Which ’s of the kite are ?
