It divides the quadrilateral into two congruent triangles that are mirror images of each other. [7] One diagonal bisects both of the angles at its two ends. [7] Kite quadrilaterals are named for the wind-blown, flying kites, which often have this shape [10] [11] and which are in turn named for a hovering bird and the sound it makes.
English: A kite with angles π/3, 5π/12, 5π/6, and 5π/12, inscribed within a Reuleaux triangle.Among all quadrilaterals, this shape is the one maximizing the ratio of perimeter to diameter: see Ball, D.G. (1973), "A generalisation of π", Mathematical Gazette 57 (402): 298–303, and Griffiths, David; Culpin, David (1975), "Pi-optimal polygons", Mathematical Gazette 59 (409): 165–175.
A right kite with its circumcircle and incircle. The leftmost and rightmost vertices have right angles. In Euclidean geometry, a right kite is a kite (a quadrilateral whose four sides can be grouped into two pairs of equal-length sides that are adjacent to each other) that can be inscribed in a circle.

In a deltoidal icositetrahedron, each face is a kite-shaped quadrilateral. The side lengths of these kites can be expressed in the ratio 0.7731900694928638:1 Specifically, the side adjacent to the obtuse angle has a length of approximately 0.707106785, while the side adjacent to the acute angle has a length of approximately 0.914213565.
The convex hull of the lute is a kite shape with three 108° angles and one 36° angle. [2] The sizes of any two consecutive pentagrams in the sequence are in the golden ratio to each other, and many other instances of the golden ratio appear within the lute.
Authorities are urging a Wisconsin man accused of faking his death and fleeing to Europe to come home and spend the holidays with his wife and three children.
President-elect Donald Trump said he'd fire federal workers who won't return to the office and also challenge in court a Biden-era deal on the issue.
The boundary of a Reuleaux triangle is a constant width curve based on an equilateral triangle. All points on a side are equidistant from the opposite vertex. A Reuleaux triangle is a curved triangle with constant width, the simplest and best known curve of constant width other than the circle. [1]
