A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length. The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular, and one diagonal bisects the other. Kites have interesting properties related to their angles and symmetry, making them a fun topic to explore in geometry. This worksheet provides practice in identifying kites, applying their properties, and solving related problems. Let's get started!
Match the term with its definition:
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 1. Diagonal | A. A quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides equal in length. |
| 2. Perpendicular | B. A line segment connecting two non-adjacent vertices in a polygon. |
| 3. Bisect | C. Intersecting at a right angle (90 degrees). |
| 4. Kite | D. To divide into two equal parts. |
| 5. Quadrilateral | E. A polygon with four sides. |
Complete the following sentences using the words provided: perpendicular, diagonals, bisects, adjacent, equal.
A quadrilateral has two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length. Is it always a kite? Explain your reasoning.
