“Kite”

A kite is a quadrilateral in which two disjoint pairs of consecutive

sides are congruent (“disjoint pairs” means that one side can’t

be used in both pairs). 

“Properties”

Two disjoint pairs of consecutive

sides are congruent by definition

Note: Disjoint means that the two pairs are totally separate)

The diagonals are perpendicular.

One diagonal is the perpendicular bisector of the other diagonal

The main diagonal bisects a pair of opposite angles

The opposite angles at the endpoints of the cross diagonal are congruent.
