Is a square a kite

Answer 1

No, a square is not a kite. In order for a parallelogram to be considered a square it must have all sides congruent and four right angels. A kite doesn't have any right angels and not all the sides are congruent to one another

Answer 2

Absolutely. A square object with strings tied to it can be used as a kite. The sheet styrofoam from a building supply store works fantastic, but it is fairly unstable in flight without lots of controlling strings or tails (something that pulls on the back end to keep it facing in one direction). Box kites are cubes with some faces open, to help channel the wind or create its own internal drag for stability and direction control.
