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. [22] 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. [16] Part of an aperiodic tiling with prototiles made from eight kites
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]
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.
Any non-self-crossing quadrilateral with exactly one axis of symmetry must be either an isosceles trapezoid or a kite. [5] However, if crossings are allowed, the set of symmetric quadrilaterals must be expanded to include also the crossed isosceles trapezoids, crossed quadrilaterals in which the crossed sides are of equal length and the other sides are parallel, and the antiparallelograms ...
In geometry, an isosceles triangle (/ aɪ ˈ s ɒ s ə l iː z /) is a triangle that has two sides of equal length or two angles of equal measure. Sometimes it is specified as having exactly two sides of equal length, and sometimes as having at least two sides of equal length, the latter version thus including the equilateral triangle as a special case.
This formula cannot be used if the quadrilateral is a right kite, since the denominator is zero in that case. If M, N are the midpoints of the diagonals, and E, F are the intersection points of the extensions of opposite sides, then the area of a bicentric quadrilateral is given by

Kite: two pairs of adjacent sides are of equal length. This implies that one diagonal divides the kite into congruent triangles, and so the angles between the two pairs of equal sides are equal in measure. It also implies that the diagonals are perpendicular.
