Kite
HSG-CO.C.11
Definition
A quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of consecutive congruent sides and perpendicular diagonals.
Examples
- A kite has two pairs of adjacent (consecutive) congruent sides.
- A kite's diagonals always intersect at a right angle.
Key rule
In a kite, the congruent sides are adjacent (next to each other), not opposite.
Memory hook
Adjacent sides match, like a kite's frame.
