KITE: Definition: A quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of equal adjacent sides.
A kite-shaped figure.
---- Properties :
1.Diagonals intersect at right angles.
2.Angles between unequal sides are equal
3. Area
The area of a kite can be calculated in various ways. Perimeter
The distance around the kite. The sum of its sides. A kite can become a rhombus
In the special case where all 4 sides are the same length, the kite satisfies the definition of a rhombus. A rhombus in turn can become a square if its interior angles are 90°.

Is an isosceles trapezoid sometimes always or never a kite?
Properties of quadrilaterals
What is a kite shape in math called?
I believe it is known as kite, or deltoid.Or maybe you mean what is resembles, then it looks like a rhombus, though geometrically, it has different properties.
Would the shape of a kite be a rhombus?
No because they both have different geometrical properties but they are both 4 sided quadrilaterals
What are the differences between a square and a kite?
A square has 4 congruent sides and 4 right angles, in addition to having all of the properties of a parallelogram. A kite is not a parallelogram. It has two pairs of consecutive congruent sides, and a pair of congruent opposite angles.
Why is a rhombus a kite?
It can be a kite.
