5. Properties of Trapezoids and Kites
Sign In
Use the fact that the noncongruent adjacent sides of a kite form congruent angles.
m∠ G=70^(∘)
We are given the following diagram and asked to find the measure of ∠ G.
We can see that the quadrilateral has two pairs of consecutive congruent sides, but its opposite sides are not congruent. This means HEFG is a kite, so we can use the Kite Opposite Angles Theorem.
Kite Opposite Angles Theorem |
If a quadrilateral is a kite, then exactly one pair of opposite angles are congruent. |
