A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent equal sides. Its area is calculated using the two diagonals, one of which bisects the other at right angles.
Wzór
A = (d₁ × d₂)/2
- d₁
- first diagonal (length)
- d₂
- second diagonal (length)
- A
- area (length²)
Przewodnik krok po kroku
- 1Area = (d₁ × d₂) / 2
- 2Where d₁ and d₂ are the two diagonals
- 3One diagonal is the axis of symmetry
- 4The diagonals are perpendicular

Area = 25
Często zadawane pytania
What is the special property of a kite's diagonals?
The diagonals are perpendicular (at 90°), and one diagonal is the axis of symmetry that bisects the other.
Is a square a type of kite?
Yes, a square is a special case of a kite where all four sides are equal and both diagonals are equal.
Can I find the kite area if I only know the sides?
Not directly from sides alone, but you can use the sides to find the diagonals first.
