THE KITE
The sides and angles of a
kite: There are two sets of adjacent
sides (next to each other) that
are the same length
(congruent.)
There is one set of congruent
angles. These are opposite of
each other and are between
sides that are different
lengths.
Properties of the
diagonals of a kite
The intersection of the
diagonals of a kite form 90
degree (right) angles. This
means that they are
perpendicular.
The longer diagonal of a kite
bisects the shorter one. This
means that the longer diagonal
cuts the shorter one in half.
Flying a simple kite as a kid is already quite awesome. As an adult, it gets even better with bigger
and faster kites; you can combine it with surfing; or attach a camera to the kite. Of course,
there is also just the option of taking great kite pictures.
