GeometrySection 8.5 Use Properties of Trapezoids and Kites
Quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides (bases) If the legs of a trapezoid are congruent, then it is an isosceles trapezoid Trapezoid base leg leg base Base angles
If a trapezoid is isosceles, then each pair of base angles is congruent Isosceles Trapezoid Theorems
If a trapezoid has a pair of congruent base angles, then it is and isosceles trapezoid.
The segment that connects the midpoints of its legs Midsegment of a trapezoid
The midsegment of a trapezoid is parallel to each base and its length is one half the sum of the lengths of the bases Midsegment Theorem for Trapezoids
A quadrilateral that has two pairs of consecutive congruent sides, but opposite sides are not congruent Kite
If a quadrilateral is a kite, then its diagonals are perpendicular Kite Diagonal Theorem
If a quadrilateral is a kite, then exactly one pair of opposite angles are congruent Theorem
