A kite is a type of a quadrilateral that has two pairs of equal, adjacent sides.<ref name="rf1">http://www.mathopenref.com/kite.html</ref> Kites can take the traditional look of a flying kite, but a kite can also be a rhombus or a square.<ref name="rf2">https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/kite.html/</ref> No matter what a kite looks like, the methods for finding the area will be the same. If you know the length of the diagonals, you can find the area through simple algebra. You can also use trigonometry to find the area, if you know the side and angle measurements of the figure. | A kite is a type of a quadrilateral that has two pairs of equal, adjacent sides.<ref name="rf1">http://www.mathopenref.com/kite.html</ref> Kites can take the traditional look of a flying kite, but a kite can also be a rhombus or a square.<ref name="rf2">https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/kite.html/</ref> No matter what a kite looks like, the methods for finding the area will be the same.
