Kite
A kite is a convex quadrilateral having a symmetry axis. It thus consists of two adjacent sides a of the same length and two adjacent sides b of the same length. A special case of the kite is the rhombus.
The diagonals of a kite are always perpendicular. The area of a kite is given by A = d1d2/2
