Kite
Steps to Solve
- Identify the shape
The shape is a quadrilateral (a four-sided polygon). It has two pairs of sides that are equal in length and adjacent to each other.
- Evaluate the options
- Kite: A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length.
- Isosceles trapezoid: An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid (a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides) where the non-parallel sides are equal in length. The given shape does not have any parallel sides so it's not a trapezoid.
- Rectangle: A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles. The given shape does not have right angles.
- Square: A square is a quadrilateral with four equal sides and four right angles. The given shape does not have equal sides or right angles.
- Choose the correct description
Based on the descriptions, the shape is a kite.

More Information
A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length. The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular, and one of the diagonals bisects the other.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing a kite with a rhombus or a parallelogram. A rhombus has four equal sides, while a kite has two distinct pairs of adjacent, equal sides. A parallelogram must have two pairs of parallel sides, which the given shape doesn't have.
