Well that depends on the shape it is. If it were a diamond yes, if it were some organic shape, then no like i said it depends. A kite has to be aerodynamically viable to fly this does not mean it has to have equal sides , only the ability to stay airborne.

Is a rhombus always a kite?
A rhombus is never a kite.A rhombus is a parallelogram with all its sides equal in length. Opposite angles are therefore equal and the rhombus is symmetrical about each of its diagonals.A kite is a quadrilateral having two pairs of adjacent sides equal in length. Only one pair of opposite angles is equal and the kite is symmetrical about the line that bisects the unequal opposite angles. A kite does not have any parallel sides.
A rhombus that is not a kite?
A rhombus and kite are different quadrilaterals. All four sides of a rhombus are of equal length: this is not necessary for a kite.
How is a kite and a rectangle similar and different?
Both are quadrilaterals. Both have two pairs of side of equal length. In a kite they are adjacent sides, in a rectangle they are opposite. A kite has one pair of equal angles, all of a rectangle's angles are equal. In a kite, one diagonals bisects the other, in a rectangle both do.
Does a square have opposite sides equal?
Yes it does - ALL four sides are equal in a square.
Does a parallelogram have equal sides?
A rhombus is a parallelogram with 4 equal sides. Many parallelograms do not have 4 equal sides. All parallelograms have 2 pairs of equal opposite sides.
Are all the sides the same length in a kite shape?
No. A kite has two pairs of sides of equal lengths. Opposite sides belong to different pairs.

Are all sides equal on a kite?
It depends on what kind of kite. It could be equal
Why rhombus is a kite according to all the books a rhombus is a parallelogram and a parallelogram is not a kite then how can someone say that a rhombus is a kite?
The definitions are a bit looser. A parallelogram is a shape in which the two pairs of opposite sides are parallel to each other. By definition, all rhombuses are parallelograms. A kite is defined as a shape in which two adjacent sides are equal length to each other, and the opposite two adjacent sides are equal length to each other. If all four sides are the same length, then the kite is ALSO a rhombus (and a parellelogram by definition) or a square if the angles are equal too. Because of that, some rhombuses are kites, or diamond, even if other kite-shapes are not parallelograms and some rhombuses are not kites.
Are all pairs of opposite sides equal in all of the parallelograms?
Yes. If a pair of opposite sides are not equal, then you don't have a parallelogram.
What is the opposite of equilateral?
equilateral is all equal sides so the opposite would be scalene: no equal sides
What are 3 attributes of a rectangle?
-- Opposite sides are parallel.-- Opposite sides are equal.-- Angles are all equal.
Does a trapezium have all equal opposite sides?
Opposite
A rhombus that is not a kite?
A rhombus and kite are different quadrilaterals. All four sides of a rhombus are of equal length: this is not necessary for a kite.
How is a kite a rhombus?
A rhombus has four sides that are all the same length ---------------------------------------- but if you are talking about the geometric shape kite - it is not a rhombus. A kite has two adjacent sides of equal length and the other two sides of equal length. Only a square can be a rhombus.
How is a kite and a rectangle similar and different?
Both are quadrilaterals. Both have two pairs of side of equal length. In a kite they are adjacent sides, in a rectangle they are opposite. A kite has one pair of equal angles, all of a rectangle's angles are equal. In a kite, one diagonals bisects the other, in a rectangle both do.
What shape has opposite sides are equal and parallel?
A rhombus has all sides equal and opposite sides parallel. This includes a square which is a special case of a rhombus with all angles equal (90 degrees) as well. If opposirte sides are equal but not all sides are equal, it is a parallelogram
