Concept # 1. A Kite and its properties
Learning objectives
- A kite is a quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of adjacent sides that are congruent.
- Kites have two pairs of congruent sides that meet at two different points.
- A kite can also be described as a quadrilateral with an axis of symmetry along one of its diagonals.
- Kites have a couple of properties that will help us identify them from other quadrilaterals.
- The diagonals of a kite meet at a right angle.
- Kites have exactly one pair of opposite angles that are congruent.
Notice that a right angle is formed at the intersection of the diagonals, which is at point N. Also, we see that <K = <M. This is our only pair of congruent angles because <J and <L have different measures.
Notes for teachers
- A kite, may be either convex or concave, but the word "kite" is often restricted to the convex variety. A concave kite is sometimes called a "dart" or "arrowhead".
