Objectives:

1.Define Kite
2.Enumerate the
properties of kite
How are Kites Made?
 Kite
•A quadrilateral with two pairs
of adjacent sides that are
congruent, a rhombus is a
special kind of kite.
 In contrast to parallelograms where
opposite sides are congruent, in a kite the
congruent sides are consecutive.
 Properties of Kite
1. Diagonals are perpendicular.
2. Exactly one pair of opposite P

angles are congruent. O

W
E

3. A diagonal bisect each of the

noncongruent angles and the R

other diagonals.
 Example Kite JKLM
Diagonals:

Opposite Congruent Angles:

Noncongruent Angles:

Diagonal bisects and :

This means
and
Diagonal also bisects diagonal . This
means
Given Kite ABCD
• Diagonals:
• Opposite Congruent Angles:
• Noncongruent angles:
• The congruent angles when diagonal
bisect and
• The congruent line segments when
diagonal bisects diagonal
Write TRUE if the statement is true for kite.
Otherwise, write FALSE
1. Any two consecutive sides are congruent.
2. There are two pairs of opposite congruent sides.
3. There are two pairs of consecutive congruent sides.
4. Both pairs of opposite angles are congruent.
5. Only one pair of opposite angles are congruent.
6. Consecutive angles are supplementary
7. Each diagonal bisects an angle at its vertex.
8. Diagonals are perpendicular.
9. Diagonals are congruent.
10.Diagonals bisect each other.
