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
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 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.
[2]: p. 1 They could also construct half of a given angle, a square whose area is twice that of another square, a square having the same area as a given polygon, and regular polygons of 3, 4, or 5 sides [2]: p. xi (or one with twice the number of sides of a given polygon [2]: pp. 49–50 ).
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.

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 ...
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 ...
An n-trapezohedron is defined by a regular zig-zag skew 2n-gon base, two symmetric apices with no degree of freedom right above and right below the base, and quadrilateral faces connecting each pair of adjacent basal edges to one apex. An n-trapezohedron has two apical vertices on its polar axis, and 2n basal vertices in two regular n-gonal rings.
