Angles in Kites WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet on angles in kites is designed to take students on a deep dive into the unique angle properties of this quadrilateral.
In Section A, learners will use the fundamental rule that angles in a quadrilateral sum to 360° to find missing angles in kites. This process will lead them to the key discovery that a kite has one pair of equal opposite angles. The section reinforces this concept by asking students to highlight these equal angle pairs.
Section B builds on this understanding by providing students with an opportunity to solidify their skills through a variety of calculations.
Section C presents a series of increasingly challenging questions that require students to apply their knowledge of kite properties alongside other geometric rules and algebraic manipulation.
