Puzzle of the Week #463 - Pentagon into Kites

April 19, 2024 Elliott Line

Still on the subject of kites, it is straightforward to dissect a regular pentagon into five identical kites as shown. If the kites all need to be different however, as far as I can tell you need at least 7 kites to make up a regular pentagon. But how might you do it?

 We are using the definition that kites must be convex, with two pairs of identical sides located adjacently (as opposed to a parallelogram where the identical sides are opposite). A hint: a rhombus is allowed as a special case of a kite.
