Formulas for Kite

There are two common formulas related to kite i.e.,

• Area of Kite
• Perimeter of Kite

Area of Kite

Area of Kite is calculated by the formula for area of quadrilateral. Generally Area of Kite is calculated by the formula added below,

Area of Kite = 1/2 × d₁ × d₂

Where,

• d₁ is Shorter Diagonal of Kite
• d₂ is Longer Diagonal of Kite

Perimeter of Kite

Perimeter of Kite is calculated by adding up the length of sides of the kite. If a Kite ABCD is given then formula is given as

Perimeter of Kite ABCD = AB + BC + CD + AD

Kite is a special type of quadrilateral that is easily recognizable by its unique shape, resembling the traditional toy flown on a string. In geometry, a kite has two pairs of adjacent sides that are of equal length. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other quadrilaterals like squares, rectangles, and parallelograms.

Diagonals of kite intersect each other at right angles. It is one of the unique quadrilateral and has some interesting properties that are covered below in the article. In this article, we will learn about, Kite Quadrilateral, Properties of kites, Examples, and others, in detail.
