Copy of Kite Template: Scaffolded Investigation

The applet below contains a quadrilateral that ALWAYS remains a [color=#1e84cc][b]KITE. [/b][/color][color=#333333][br][br]The purpose of this applet is to help you understand many of the geometric properties a [/color][b][color=#1e84cc]KITE[/color][/b] has. [br][br]The questions you need to answer are displayed below this applet.[br][br]Be sure to frequently change the locations of points [i]A[/i], [i]B[/i], and [i]C[/i] to create different kites before making any general conclusions. Be sure to also use the [color=#ff00ff][b]pink slider[/b][/color] to adjust the size of angle [i]A[/i]. [br][br][i]Use this template to complete the investigation questions in the activity given to you at the beginning of class! [/i]
Display the angles. What do you notice? Describe in detail.
Display the diagonals. What do you notice? Describe in detail.
Display the measures of the angles. What do you notice about the 8 angles? Describe.
Construct[math]\bigtriangleup ABC[/math] , then reflect about AC. What do you notice?
Is a kite a parallelogram? If so, WHY is it a parallelogram? If not, why is it not a parallelogram.
