Are the diagonals congruent in a kite?

Well... you tell me!


What would you call a kite with congruent diagonals?

A square.


The diagonals are congruent but the quadrilateral has no right angles is it a parallelogram?

It can also be a kite. That has two congruent pairs of sides but unlike a parallelogram they are adjacent, not opposite. A parallelogram with congruent diagonals is a rectangle.


Can a kite have four congruent diagonals?

No because a kite is a 4 sided quadrilateral with two diagonals of different lengths that intersect each other at right angles.


Are the diagonals of a kite equal in length?

From Wikipedia: '...a kite, or deltoid, is a quadrilateral with two disjoint pairs of congruent adjacent sides, in contrast to a parallelogram, where the congruent sides are opposite.' In other words, a kite consists of two isosceles triangles joined at the base. Beginning with a particular isosceles triangle, it will always be possible to construct from it one kite that has equal diagonals (given that the kite may be either convex or concave). Hence an infinite number of kites do have equal diagonals, but many do not. A notable example of a kite that does have equal diagonals is a square.


What has congruent diagonals that is not a rectangle?

Any regular polygon. Lots of irregular polygons can also have congruent diagonals, for example a kite. The answer should not be "a square" because it is a rectangle - a special case but a rectangle nevertheless.


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

kite


What is the definition of the shape kite?

A kite has two pairs of adjacent sides congruent. The diagonals intersect at right angles and bisect one set of angles.


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

Kite


Do kites have congruent diagonals?

No, kites do not have congruent diagonals.


Are diagonals in a trapezoid congruent?

are the diagonals in a trapezoid congruent


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.
