In a deltoidal icositetrahedron, each face is a kite-shaped quadrilateral. The side lengths of these kites can be expressed in the ratio 0.7731900694928638:1. Specifically, the side adjacent to the obtuse angle has a length of approximately 0.707106785, while the side adjacent to the acute angle has a length of approximately 0.914213565.
A kite with three 108° angles and one 36° angle forms the convex hull of the lute of Pythagoras, a fractal made of nested pentagrams. [23] The four sides of this kite lie on four of the sides of a regular pentagon, with a golden triangle glued onto the fifth side. [17] Part of an aperiodic tiling with prototiles made from eight kites
A kite is cyclic if and only if it has two right angles – a right kite. A bicentric quadrilateral is a cyclic quadrilateral that is also tangential and an ex-bicentric quadrilateral is a cyclic quadrilateral that is also ex-tangential. A harmonic quadrilateral is a cyclic quadrilateral in which the product of the lengths of opposite sides are ...
A right kite with its circumcircle and incircle. The leftmost and rightmost vertices have right angles. In Euclidean geometry, a right kite is a kite (a quadrilateral whose four sides can be grouped into two pairs of equal-length sides that are adjacent to each other) that can be inscribed in a circle. [1]
A quadrilateral is a square if and only if it is both a rhombus and a rectangle (i.e., four equal sides and four equal angles). Oblong: longer than wide, or wider than long (i.e., a rectangle that is not a square). [5] Kite: two pairs of adjacent sides are of equal length.
Conversely, any quadrilateral in which a 2 + c 2 = b 2 + d 2 must be orthodiagonal. [5] This can be proved in a number of ways, including using the law of cosines, vectors, an indirect proof, and complex numbers. [6] The diagonals of a convex quadrilateral are perpendicular if and only if the two bimedians have equal length. [6]
The kite is a quadrilateral whose four interior angles are 72, 72, 72, and 144 degrees. The kite may be bisected along its axis of symmetry to form a pair of acute Robinson triangles (with angles of 36, 72 and 72 degrees). The dart is a non-convex quadrilateral whose four interior angles are 36, 72, 36, and 216 degrees. The dart may be bisected ...
A star p/q-trapezohedron has two apical vertices on its polar axis, and 2p basal vertices in two regular p-gonal rings. It has 2p congruent kite faces, and it is isohedral. Such a star p/q-trapezohedron is a self-intersecting, crossed, or non-convex form. It exists for any regular zig-zag skew star 2p/q-gon base (where 2 ≤ q < 1p).
