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.
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.
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. [1]
A kite is an orthodiagonal quadrilateral in which one diagonal is a line of symmetry.The kites are exactly the orthodiagonal quadrilaterals that contain a circle tangent to all four of their sides; that is, the kites are the tangential orthodiagonal quadrilaterals.
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.
