The triangle on top is smaller than the one on the bottom. The reason for this is to have more surface area on the bottom, so the kite leans into the wind. If both triangles were the same size, the kite would lay horizontal (level) and the wind would not lift the kite up. It is a vector problem.

The kite leans into the wind. So when the wind blows horizontal, the kite is pushed up (lift) and to the right (drag). By adjusting the position of the 3 strings, you can control the stability of the kite.
