Kite

A kite is a special quadrilateral with exactly two pairs of adjacent sides that are congruent or equal in length. Each pair of adjacent sides meets at a common point known as the vertex.

In addition, the diagonals of a kite intersect a 90^\circ angle which means that they are perpendicular to each other. Furthermore, one of the diagonals of a kite bisects the other.
