  2. Definitions Imagine 2 adjacent isosceles triangles.

  3. Kite Properties Kite Angles Conjecture: The non-vertex angles of a kite are congruent. Kite Diagonals Conjecture: The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular. A M T H

  4. Kite Properties Kite Angle Bisector Conjecture: The vertex angles of a kite are bisected by a diagonal. A M T H

  5. Kite Properties Kite Diagonal Bisector Conjecture: The diagonal connecting the vertex angles of a kite is the perpendicular bisector of the other diagonal. A M T H

  6. Definitions

  7. Trapezoid Properties Trapezoid Consecutive Angles Conjecture: In a trapezoid, the consecutive angles between the bases are supplementary.

  8. Trapezoid Properties Isosceles Trapezoid Conjecture: In an isosceles trapezoid, the base angles are congruent. *Converse of Isosceles Trapezoid Conjecture: In a trapezoid, if the base angles are congruent, then the trapezoid is isosceles.

  9. Trapezoid Properties Isosceles Trapezoid Diagonals Conjecture: In an isosceles trapezoid, the diagonals are congruent.

  22. EXAMPLES NON-EXAMPLES

  23. Definitions What is a midsegment of a triangle ? A midsegment of a triangle is… a segment whose endpoints are the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.

  24. Definitions What is a midsegment of a triangle ?

  25. Definitions What is a midsegment of a trapezoid ?

  26. Definitions What is a midsegment of a trapezoid ? A midsegment of a trapezoid is… a segment whose endpoints are the midpoints of the non-parallel sides (legs) of a trapezoid. Can you draw non-examples of a midsegment of a trapezoid?

  27. Midsegment Properties Triangle Midsegment Conjecture: In a triangle, the midsegment is parallel to the third side, and measures half the length of the third side. Trapezoid Midsegment Conjecture: In a trapezoid, the midsegment is parallel to the bases, and measures half the sum of the lengths of the bases.
