Do kite diagonals bisect the angles?

No - only one of the diagonals bisects the angles of the shape.


If a kite has diagonals with lengths of 6 centimeters and 8 centimeters what is the area of the kite?

Same as a square, except the kite only occupies half the space. (Draw a picture if you have to.) So, 6x8 = 48, divided by two is 24 [sq. cm]


Do the diagonals of a kite bisect each other?

No, they do not. Only the longer diagonal bisects the shorter diagonal.


What quadrangle has 2 pairs of congruent adjacent sides and one of the diagonals is the only line of symmetry?

kite


You are a quardangle with 2 pairs of congruent adjacent sides One of your diagonals is also your only line of symmetry?

Kite


The diagonals of a kite are?

Perpendicular and the one for which each endpoint touches only sides of equal length bisects the other.


Does a trapezoid have the property that diagonals are perpendicular?

No, they do not have that property. The quadrilaterals that have that property are the rhombus (and subsequently, the square) and the kite. The only property I'm aware of diagonals of a trapezoid having is the fact that they cut each other in the same ratio, which happens to be the ratio between the lengths of the parallel sides.


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!


What property must the diagonals of a quadrilateral have in order for it to be a kite?

They must meet at right angles and only one of them must bisect the other. (if both bisect one another, the quadrilateral will be a square).


Are 20 diagonals in a pentagon?

no, there are only 5 diagonals in a pentagon.


Why do quadrilaterals have 2 diagonals?

Quadrilaterals only have two diagonals because they only have four vertices.


Do quadrilaterals have 2 diagonals?

Quadrilaterals only have two diagonals because they only have four vertices.
