Thread: Right kite - these can contain more than one right angle.

I've been searching the Internet for "kite" definitions, terms, etc.
The definition of a right kite is that it contains one right angle, which can be either of the vertex angles.
However, the non-vertex angle can also be a right angle (two actually because non-vertex angles are equal).
Would a "right kite" of two 90 degree non-vertex angles have a special term or would it just be called another "right kite"?
Thank you.

Hello, wolf!

I've been searching the Internet for "kite" definitions, terms, etc.
The definition of a right kite is that it contains one right angle,
which can be either of the vertex angles.

This is true . . . a typical "right kite" might look like this:

Code:

            *
          *90o*
        *       *
      *           *
       *         *
        *       *
         *     *
          *   *
           * *
            *

However, the non-vertex angle can also be a right angle
(two actually because non-vertex angles are equal).
Would a "right kite" of two 90 degree non-vertex angles have a special name?

Code:

              o * o
          o  *  |  *  o
        o *     |     * o
       *        |        *
         *      |       *
      o  *      |      *  o
      o   *     |     *   o
      o    *    |    *    o
            *   |   *
       o     *  |  *     o
        o     * | *     o
          o    *|*    o
              o * o

I don't think it has a special name.
I note that the two halves are inscribed in semicircles.

Thanks for the reply.
I forgot to post a graphic I made:

All three quadrilaterals are "right kites" with the one on the right having two right angles, which as I have recently learned, has no special mathematical designation.
