A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are called bases. The nonparallel sides are called legs. The base angles are formed by the base and one of the legs. In trapezoid ABCD, ÐA and ÐB are one pair of base angles and ÐC and ÐD are the other pair. If the legs of a trapezoid are congruent, then it is an isosceles trapezoid.
Example 1: Each side of the basket shown is an isosceles trapezoid. If mJML = 130, KN = 6.7 feet, and LN = 3.6 feet,
a) find mMJK.
because….
mÐJML + mÐMJK = 180 because….
130 + mÐMJK = 180 because….
mÐMJK = ______ because….

Example 1: Each side of the basket shown is an isosceles trapezoid. If mJML = 130, KN = 6.7 feet, and JL = 10.3 feet,
b) find MN.
because….
JL = KM because…. JL = KN + MN because….
10.3 = 6.7 + MN because….

Since the legs are not congruent, ABCD is not an isosceles trapezoid.
The midsegment of a trapezoid is the segment that connects the midpoints of the legs of the trapezoid.
Example 3: In the figure, MN is the midsegment of trapezoid FGJK. What is the value of x?

A kite is a quadrilateral with exactly two pairs of consecutive congruent sides. Unlike a parallelogram, the opposite sides of a kite are not congruent or parallel.
Example 4: a) If WXYZ is a kite, find mXYZ.
WXY WZY because …
mWZY = ________
mW + mX + mY + mZ = _____ because …
a kite has one pair of angles which are between the two non-congruent sides.
121° substitution
360° polygon int. angles sum theorem
73° + 121° + mY + 121° = 360° Substitution
mY = 45° Simplify
Example 4: b) If MNPQ is a kite, find NP.
(NR)2 + (MR)2 = (MN)2 because…Pythagorean Theorem
(6)2 + (8)2 = MN2 Substitution
36 + 64 = MN2 Simplify.
100 = MN2 Add.
10 = MN Take the square root of each side.
MN = NP Consecutive sides of a kite are congruent.
10 = NP Substitution
