Kite , special member of Quadrilateral family

Family of Quadrilaterals

Hi, I am quadrilateral A quadrilateral is a four sided polygon. Therefore the total number of degrees of interior angles is 360°

I am Trapezium A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel lines. 

I am parallelogram A parallelogram is quadrilateral comprised of two pairs of parallel lines.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel. Property: The opposite sides of a parallelogram are of equal length.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel. Property: The opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel. Property: The adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel. Property: The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other .

Hi, I am Rectangle A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles. A rectangle is a parallelogram, its opposite sides must be congruent and it must satisfy all other properties of parallelograms .

I am Rhombus A rhombus is a type of parallelogram, and what distinguishes its shape is that all four of its sides are congruent. There are several formulas for the rhombus that have

The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of one another

A rhombus is a type of parallelogram, and what distinguishes its shape is that all four of its sides are congruent. Properties of the rhombus: all four sides are congruent Diagonals bisects each other Diagonals are perpendicular A square is a rhombus and a rectangle. In other words, if each angle of a rhombus is 90°, then it's a square.

Hi, I am Square A square has the properties of a rhombus and a rectangle. Its sides intersect at 90° and all four sides are congruent. 

Kite Hi, I am Kite Who are you? Do you belong to family of Quadrilaterals?

Kite is a quadrilateral:. has two pairs of sides Kite is a quadrilateral: * has two pairs of sides. * each pair is adjacent sides (they meet) that are equal in length.  Also, the angles are equal where the pairs meet.  Diagonals meet at a right angle, and one of the diagonal bisects (cuts equally in half) the other.
