Kites

A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of congruent and adjacent sides. The key properties of a kite are that its diagonals are perpendicular to each other and one diagonal is the perpendicular bisector of the other. The area of a kite can be calculated as half the product of the lengths of its diagonals. Some exercises are provided to practice finding properties of kites such as side lengths, angles, and perimeters.
