Writing: Describe the differences between a kite and a trapezoid.
Answer: There are some differences between a kite and a trapezoid. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. A kite is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of consecutive congruent sides but opposite sides are not congruent. Also the diagonals of a kite make perpendicular lines while the diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent. An isosceles trapezoid has both of its pair of base angles being congruent. But a kite has exactly one pair of opposite angles which are congruent. So just a trapezoid and kite has few differences but a isosceles trapezoid and a kite has many differences.
Mr. Ortiz, I placed it on the old one but I am repeating it. I was absenmt today so I hope you still accept it.
