KITE

Kite


quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of equal adjacent sides.


Area 
The area of a kite can be calculated in various ways. 

Area

Peremeter


A kite can become a rhombus 
In the special case where all 4 sides are the same length, the kite satisfies the definition of arhombus. A rhombus in turn can become a square if its interior angles are 90°.


Concave kites

If either of the end (unequal) angles is greater than 180°, the kite becomes concave. Although it no longer looks like a kite, it still satisfies all the properties of a kite.
