Best Answer

yes kites have four sides

*****************************************************************

Answer 2:

A traditional diamond-shaped kite has 6 sides (don't forget the front side and the back side). But when drawn as a geometric figure a diamond kite has 4 sides.

There are many other shapes for kites, from pentagonal and polygonal kites, delta kites, figural kites (in the shapes of fish, birds, dragons, etc.), box kites, and more, so the answer to your question would depend on the type of kite.

Perhaps a more challenging question would be how to find the area of a kite, given that the edges (sides) on most kites are not of equal length.

What are the parallel sides of a kite?

Among the simple kites, the box kites are shaped like open boxes. There are four parallel poles to shape the sides and four internal struts arranged in parallel pairs. The cloth sides of the kites are usually split into atop and bottom section. Each set would have two parallel sides.


What is the difference between a kite and a diamond?

A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length, while a diamond is a rhombus where all four sides are equal in length. In other words, all diamonds are kites, but not all kites are diamonds.

Why is it important for kites to have symmetry?

Kites must have symmetry so that they will fly straight. When the kite's sides are symmetrical, the force of the wind acts equally on both sides.

2 pairs of consecutive congruent sides


What polygon is a kite?

Honestly, it would depend on the type of kite, but if you are referring to the normal Diamond shaped kites, then it would be a Quadrilateral because it has four sides.


What shape has only 4 sides?

A four sided figure is a quadrilateral. There are several specific quadrilaterals, squares, rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, rhomboids, and kites.

Do kites have parallel sides?

Yes, kites do have parallel lines. at least the classic, diamond- shaped ones do. It is not the two perpendicular sticks in the middle, but rather the sides. In this diagram, it shows how they are parallel:
