6.3 Kite and Trapezoid Properties
  • go to website and click on kite and trapezoid investigations
  • it's underneath the pdf files of last night's homework
  • we began Investigation 6.3.1 in class. We completed C-42 which says, "The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular bisectors of each other"
  • we went on to Step 4 where we were then able to complete C-43 which says, "The diagonal connecting the 2 vertex angles of a kite is the perpendicular bisector of the other diagonal."
  • you are now to continue on with Step 5 and complete all of the statements beginning with C-44 and ending with C-46.
  • if you want to check your answers, use the prentice hall book and find the section on kites and trapezoids. No, I won't tell you where it is. You should use your researching skills to find those sections. Hint: use either your table of contents OR the index!
  • by the way, 2 girls in my 4th period said that they go on yahoo messenger and are able to doodle the constructions and send them to each other. if you know of someone else who has yahoo, try it with them!
