Angles in Kites WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 7th Grade, 8th Grade
CCSS: 7.G.B.5, 8.G.A.5
CCSS Description: Use facts about supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles in a multi-step problem to write and solve simple equations for an unknown angle in a figure.
Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles. For example, arrange three copies of the same triangle so that the sum of the three angles appears to form a line, and give an argument in terms of transversals why this is so.

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.
