  4. Definition Kite A quadrilateral with two pairs of congruent consecutive sides. F E G H

  5. Definition Kite A quadrilateral with two pairs of congruent consecutive sides. Q P S R

  6. Theorem If a trapezoid is isosceles, then each pair of base angles is congruent. A B D C

  7. Theorem If a trapezoid has a pair of congruent base angles then it is an isosceles trapezoid. A B D C

  8. Theorem A trapezoid is isosceles if and only if its diagonals are congruent. A B D C

  9. Theorem The midsegment of a trapezoid is parallel to each base and its length isthe average of the lengths of the bases. A B E F D C

  10. Theorem The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular. A D B C

  11. Theorem The angles between the non-congruent sides of a kite are congruent. B A D C
