Question

Which statement about a kite and trapezoid is true?

Answer 1

A trapezoid is similar to a kite because both have diagonals which bisect each other at 90°.

Both are parallelograms because their opposite sides are congruent.

A trapezoid is different from a kite because it does not have two pairs of non parallel opposite sides.

Both are parallelograms because they have four sides and their diagonals are equal in length.

Answer 2

Both are parallelograms because their opposite sides are congruent.

is false because a trapezoid is not a parallelogram (only one set of sides are parallel)

Answer 3

what else can you eliminate?

Answer 4

@jim_thompson5910 " Both are parallelograms because they have four sides and their diagonals are equal in length." ?

Answer 5

yep that can be eliminated as well

Answer 6

A trapezoid is similar to a kite because both have diagonals which bisect each other at 90°.

is partially true: a kite does have diagonals which intersect at 90 degrees...but a trapezoid does not

Answer 7

so A is false

Answer 8

oh actually A is completely false because a kite only has one diagonal that is cut in half

Answer 9

So it's "A trapezoid is different from a kite because it does not have two pairs of non parallel opposite sides"?

Answer 10

that's the only thing left, so that sounds like the answer

Answer 11

it's not the best answer in my opinion because it's a bit vague, but oh well

Answer 12

Thanks!!! :)
