Geometry February 7, 2017 6.6 Trapezoids and Kites DO NOW Calculate the midpoint: 1. 3 and 5 2. -6 and 10 3. (3, 5) and (7, 1) 4. (6, 5) and (-4, 1) Today’s Objectives 1. Explore the properties of trapezoids. Definition: Trapezoid A quadrilateral with EXACTLY ONE pair of parallel sides. Parts of a Trapezoid The PARALLEL SIDES are called BASES. The OTHER SIDES are called LEGS. Trapezoid Midsegment The length of the midsegment is the AVERAGE of the lengths of the bases. Trapezoid Midsegment Trapezoid Midsegment Trapezoid Midsegment Trapezoid Midsegment Definition: Isosceles Trapezoid A trapezoid with congruent legs. Property: Isosceles Trapezoid Both pairs of base angles are congruent. Property: Isosceles Trapezoid The diagonals are congruent. Summary: Trapezoids One pair of parallel sides (bases) and one pair of non-parallel sides (legs). Midsegment: Average of the base lengths. Isosceles: Congruent legs, base angles, and diagonals.
