Area of a Kite

The Area of a Kite or Rhombus calculator kite shape - rhombus computes the area based on the dimensions of the rhombus.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose your preferred units and enter the following:

• (d₁) Diagonal 1
• (d₂) Diagonal 2

Area (A): The area of the rhombus is returned in square meters. However, this can be automatically converted to other area units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The formula for the area of a kite is half the product of the diagonals.

A = 0.5 * d₁ * d₂

Note: This formula works for the area of a rhombus as well, since the rhombus is a special kind of kite.

Note: The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular

A quadrilateral is a polygon that has four sides, four vertices (corners), and four angles. The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is always 360 degrees. Quadrilaterals can vary widely in shape and properties, including:

• rectangles: squared corners and pairs of equal sides
• squares: squared corners and equal sides
• parallelograms: two sets of parallel sides
• trapezoids: one set of parallel sides
• rhombuses: four equal sides
• kites: two pairs of equal and adjacent sides
