Trapezium

A Trapezium is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel opposite sides.

  • Isosceles Trapezium: A trapezium where the non-parallel sides are of equal length. In an isosceles trapezium:
    • Angles on the same base are equal.
    • Diagonals are of equal length.
ABCD

Kite

A Kite is a quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of equal-length adjacent sides.

  • AB=BCAB = BC
  • CD=DACD = DA

Properties

  1. Perpendicular Diagonals: The diagonals intersect at 9090^\circ.
  2. One Bisector: One diagonal (the main axis) bisects the other diagonal.
  3. Angles: One pair of opposite angles are equal (the ones between the unequal sides).
ABCD
