Example 1: Problem-Solving Application
Lucy is framing a kite with
wooden dowels. She uses two
dowels that measure 18 cm,
one dowel that measures 30
cm, and two dowels that
measure 27 cm. To complete
the kite, she needs a dowel to
place along . She has a dowel
that is 36 cm long. About how
much wood will she have left
after cutting the last dowel?

6-6 Properties of Kites and Trapezoids
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of
parallel sides. Each of the parallel sides is called a
base. The nonparallel sides are called legs. Base
angles of a trapezoid are two consecutive angles
whose common side is a base.
Holt Geometry
6-6 Properties of Kites and Trapezoids
If the legs of a trapezoid are congruent, the trapezoid
is an isosceles trapezoid. The following theorems
state the properties of an isosceles trapezoid.

The midsegment of a trapezoid is the segment
whose endpoints are the midpoints of the legs. In
