Kite Investigation
The figure below will always remain a kite regardless of how you move the vertices.
1. Click "Show all 4 angle measures." Move the vertices around. Write a conjecture about the angles in a kite.
2. Click "show diagonals." Then click "show additional angle measures." Write a conjecture about the diagonals of a kite.
3. Is a kite a parallelogram?
4. Is a kite a rhombus? Explain why or why not.
5. Are OPPOSITE SIDES of a kite congruent? If so, how many pairs?
6. Are ADJACENT SIDES of a kite congruent? If so, how many pairs?
7. Are any pairs of opposite angles of a kite congruent? If so, how many pairs?
8. Do the diagonals of a kite bisect EACH OTHER?
9. Are the diagonals of a kite perpendicular?
10. Are the diagonals of a kite congruent?
11. What properties do a kite and a rhombus share (have in common)?
