Kite - measurements(B)

Go Fly a ....

This investigation is about discovering the relationships sides, angles, and the diagonals of the kite. Try to discover which lengths are congruent, parallel, perpendicular, or bisected. Discover which angles are congruent, complementary, supplementary, or bisected. Try to generalize your findings by using descriptions like opposite or consecutive with what and how many that applies to. For example a generalization might be: “Kites have ______________pairs of adjacent, congruent sides.” On the polygon put markings of congruency, right angles, or parallel for the sides or angles.

Multiple choice or T/F

A kite is a [url=https://www.cuemath.com/geometry/quadrilaterals/]quadrilateral[/url] that has two pairs of consecutive equal sides and perpendicular diagonals.

True False

Since a kite has perpendicular diagonals then.....

The slopes must be negative reciprocals They intersect at 60 degree angles They have the same slopes Are always equal in length

Can a kite have sides of 12 units, 25 units, 13 units, and 25 units?[br]

False True

Select all possible correct answers

The diagonals of a kite.

Has exactly one diagonal The two diagonals are not of the same length. The diagonals of a kite intersect each other at right angles. It can be observed that the longer diagonal bisects the shorter diagonal. Always have the same length
