Lesson 5.11Page 323 Trapezoids and Kites
Which of these are trapezoids? D A B C G F I H A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.
What is a trapezoid? • A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of sides parallel. • Bases • Base angles • Legs • Isosceles trapezoid
Slope Slope describes the direction of a line.
Why is this needed? Slope If x1 x2, the slope of the line through the distinct points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is Guard against 0 in the denominator
Now find the slope between (-5, 3) and (-1, 1) y-axis x-axis Find the slope between (-3, 6) and (5, 2) Rise -4 -1 = = Run 8 2
Find the slope between(-3, 6) and (5, 2) Now find the slope between (-5, 3) and (-1, 1)
Example • Show that ABCD is a trapezoid. B (4, 5) C (7, 3) A (1, 2) D (7, -2)
Homework Assignment: Page 325 # 1 – 9 odd
