Which statement about a kite and trapezoid is true? A trapezoid is different from a kite because it does not have any pair of parallel sides as in a kite. A trapezoid is different from a kite because it does not have diagonals that intersect at right angles as in a kite. A trapezoid is similar to a kite because both have one pair of parallel opposite sides. A trapezoid is similar to a kite because both have two pairs of opposite sides parallel.
@sgta101 B?

Check the first one, does a trapezoid not have any pair of parallel sides?
it does
Then we can't have the first one, can we? Which one do you want to test next?
B
Check the diagonals of the kite. |dw:1364540846020:dw| Since my drawing is pretty rough, you'll just have to take to faith that those diagonals are perpendicular :)
Now, could the diagonals of a trapezoid be perpendicular?
YOUR DRAWING IS PERFECT IT IS NOT ROUGh u have seen my writing on this thig lol
Yes
no wait no
Why thank you :) Let's put in many cases of Trapezoids, shall we? |dw:1364540997790:dw| Do any of these look like their diagonals could be perpendicular?
|dw:1364541091619:dw|
yes
Really? Check again :D
opps ok i was looking at the last one as a kite ok so it is NO
but i said no first
Yeah. So it's the second, since the diagonals of a trapezoid do not form right angles with each other :)
thank you!!!Can i ask u a question?
You just did. ^.^ Feel free to ask another, though :)
Look at the sphere shown below. What does the segment BC represent? a great circle a chord a tangent a radius
What Sphere?
A great circle is a circle on the sphere such that there is no circle with greater radius on the sphere. A chord is a line (segment) that passes through two points on the sphere. A tangent is a line that passes through only one point of the sphere. A radius is a line segment from the centre of the sphere to one of its points.
A GREAT CIRCLE!
Not even close. You see that circle, at the centre of the sphere? THAT's a great circle.
:( BUT NONe of the other make sense is it tangent?
no i am sure it has to be tangent
How sure are you?
100%
Well then, go for it :P
kk so wait i have a question/not math related
so which language is ur profile pic?
It's Chinese.
so u are chines?
Nope.
Well, partly.
korean?
I'm Filipino.
