PP 28 - Kites

A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of congruent adjacent sides, and its defining properties are that its diagonals are perpendicular and one pair of opposite angles are equal. The document provides examples of finding measures of angles and side lengths of kites using their properties, and reviews properties and characteristics of other quadrilaterals like parallelograms, trapezoids, rectangles, rhombuses, and squares.

next type of quadrilateral we consider is known as a kite, a
quadrilateral that gets its name from the child’s toy pictured below.
In the construction of the kite, there are two pairs of congruent
adjacent sides. See Figure 4.14(a).

•Definition
•A kite is a quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of congruent adjacent
sides.

•The word distinct is used in the definition of kite to clarify that the kite
does not have four congruent sides.
