Do the diagonals of a quadrilateral kite separate the kite into four congruent triangles?

Not necessarly. If the sum of two of the sides congruent to each other are greater than that of the sides opposite them, then no. If however the kite forms a rombus ot square, the diagnoles will form four congruent triangles with the base of both being the line of symmetry.

Can two different types of triangles have equal side lengths?
Only equilateral triangles have all equal sides, also all the angles are 60 degrees. If two separate triangles have equal side lengths they are said to be congruent. They cannot be a different type of triangle except, possibly, in their orientation.
How many vertices are in 9 triangles?
27, if they are all separate. Far fewer otherwise.
Why do you subtract 2 when calculating the interior degrees of a 24 sided polygon?
Basically when you have a 24 sided polygon you can split it up into 22 separate, non-overlapping triangles by drawing diagonals. Each triangle has 180 degrees, so the product, 22 times 180, gives you the sum of the interior angles of the 24 sided polygon.
How are triangles used in architecture?
Triangles, in many aspects, is our gods greatest invention. The way the triangle holds itself together, uniforms it as one whole instead of three separate pieces of objects. This is simply, how triangles have truly "formed" the earth. I LOVE MALLORY KIRSTEN FISCHER!
What are the marks used on a figure to indicate congruent segments?
A single slash perpendicular to the line is used to show it is congruent. In other words, if two segments are congruent they would both have a single slash through them, but if you have multiple pairs, each separate pair would have its own unique number of slashes (1,2,3...).

Is a tranpezoid a parallelogram?
No, its a separate branch in the The QUadrilateral Hierarchy... its just trapezoid
What do the 3 triangles in the Triforce represent?
A Triforce is one large triangle that is made of of 3 separate triangles. Each of the 3 triangles have a separate meaning with the top one being the Triforce of Power, the left one is the Triforce of wisdom and the right triangle is the Triforce of courage.
What separate an angle into two congruent angles?
You tell me! It that supposed to be a homework question?
How do you make 5 triangles with 9 line?
I get 9 triangle with fewer than 9 lines. Draw a square: ABCD (4 lines) Draw the diagonals AC, BD (2 lines) which meet at X in the centre. On a separate part of the page, draw triangle PQR (3 lines). That is 4 + 2 + 3 = 9 lines. The triangles are: ABC, BCD, CDA, DAB, AXB, BXC, CXD, DXA, and PQR 9 triangles with 9 lines. Could have done 13 triangles with 7 lines by drawing a line from A to BC.
How is a kite different from a rhombus?
A kite is different from a rhombus in a few ways: * Kites have two pairs of adjacent legs that are congruent, and each pair is a separate length; a rhombus has four congruent sides. * A kite and rhombus both have perpendicular diagonals, but in a kite, only the diagonal between the pairs of sides (the diagonal between two sides of different length) is bisected; the other is not. Also, the diagonals bisect all of the angles of a rhombus; only the angles in the middle of the pairs of sides (angles with two legs of equal length) are bisected. * Only the angles between the pairs of sides are congruent in a kite; a rhombus has 2 pairs of congruent opposite angles. You can also think of a rhombus as a combination between a kite and a parallelogram, the same way you can think of a square as a combination of a rectangle and a rhombus. Hope this helps!

How many meters square is a land 15 by 25 by16 by20?
If those are four sides of a quadrilateral, you would also need some additional information, for example some angle, or a diagonal. If you have a diagonal, you can separate your quadrilateral into two triangles, and use Heron's formula.
