lesson 5.3
Investigations 1
What are some properties of kites ?
Step 1
Draw two connected segments of different lengths
Step 2
Compare the sizes of each opposite angles in the kite
Are the vertex angles congruent ?
Are the nonvertex angles congruent ?
Kite Angles Conjecture
The nonvertex conjectures of a kite are congruent
Kite Diagonals Conjecture
The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular to each other
Kite Bisector Conjecture
The diagonal connecting the vertex angles of a kite is the perpendicular bisector of the other diagonal
Kite Angle Bisector Conjecture
The vertex angles of a kite are bisected by a diagonal
