Definition and Usage
A kite is a geometric figure that lies in a plane. Quadrilateral 
is a kite if and only if 
and 
or 
and 
. Thus, there are two types of quadrilaterals with two pairs of congruent edges, the parallelogram (if the members of each pair are opposite each other), and the kite (if the members of each pair are adjacent to each other). The properties of kites include:
- 2 sets of consecutive, congruent sides
- perpendicular diagonals
- one pair of opposite, congruent angles
