What is a Kite?

Kite is a quadrilateral, i.e. it is a polygon with four sides. In a kite, we have 2 pairs of equal-length sides and they are adjacent to each other. The image of a Kite is added below,

Diagonals of a Kite

A kite have two diagonals, and the properties of the diagonls of the kite are added below,

• Diagonals of the kite are not equal.
• Digonal of kite are perpendicular to each other, they intersect each other right angles.
• Shorter diagonal of a kite forms two Iscosceles Triangles.
• Longer diagonal of a kite forms two congruent triangle by SSS property of Congruence.

Angles in a Kite

In a kite we have four angles, as it a quadrilateral. The properties of the interior angles of the kite are,

• The sum of all the angle of the kite is 360°.
• Any one pair of angles in kite (obtuse angle pair) are equal.

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.
