Kites

PROPERTIES OF KITES:
-Diagonals are perpendicular
-When shown as in above diagram:
--The two upper sides are congruent
--The two lower sides are congruent
--The left and right angles are congruent
--When we add the diagonals:
---The horizontal diagonal is bisected by the other diagonal
---The vertical diagonal bisects the two angles it goes through
---Two Isosceles triangles are created
-These properties apply to ALL kites, but sometimes rotated.

Kites are so weird, Khan Academy didn't have a video for them... That was annoying.
So then, I looked at vimeo, because apparently that's the thing that you use at school to get videos because they blocked youtube. I got nothing. Well, I got this video... http://vimeo.com/22253704 but it's not very educational. It's funny, but not educational, unless you're like, six. We're not six. Plus, it's like twenty five minutes... not fun.

Now, apparently I'm not going to post a video, because kites are so bizarre that no one who makes videos cares about them. I have no other ideas, so I'm just gonna write a poem, because things that rhyme tend to be helpful. They just do. Please don't mock my excessively fail poetry.

with perpendicular diagonals
kites can look like pterodactyls. (sort of.)
one diagonal bisects the other
and they form isosceles triangles like brothers.
one diagonal bisects angles
and bisects the diagonal that is the base of the two triangles.
two pairs of sides are congruent
but not opposite sides, 'cause that'd ruin it.
there's a pair of angles that are congruent
they are opposites, but it didn't ruin it.
this poem is really bad, but I don't care
'cause it rhymes, and it sticks in your head, SO THERE.

NEXT SCRIBE hopefully can do better than me... (shouldn't be too hard)
DMITRI! Good luck with that.
