Fact: A kite is a deltoid. (cp)

Fact: Kites have four sides, and the adjacent sides, the ones that are next to each other, are congruent, as you can see by the picture below. (cp) (cp) Fact: There are four angles on a kite and they are all NOT congruent except for the adjacent ones, as you can also see from the picture above.(cp) c(cp) Fact: A kite has two diagonals that bisect to make 2 pairs of different congruent triangles, and when the diagonals cross in the middle, they are perpendicular.(cp)

Definition: A kite is a quadrilateral that has no pairs of parallel sides, and so it makes it different from all of the other quadrilaterals.(cp)

A sentence using the word kite in it could be: That table looks like a kite from above. Or: Hey, if we put together these two building blocks, do you think it would build a kite shape? (cp) (cp) Fact: The kite, like all quadrilaterals, has the interior sum of angles 360 degrees. (cp)

Problem: If a kite has an acute angle at the bottom that is 30 degrees, and a 30 degree angle at the top, then what are the degrees of the missing angles? (cp)
