Kite

A flat shape with 4 straight sides that:

• has two pairs of sides.
• each pair's sides are adjacent (they meet) and equal in length.

Also the angles are equal where the pairs meet.

The dashed lines are diagonals, which meet at a right angle. And one of the diagonals bisects (cuts equally in half) the other.
