Are all kites quadrilaterals?
All kites are quadrilaterals, but quadrilaterals are not kites.
Is every rhombus kite shaped?
A rhombus has four sides of equal length, and opposite angles are equal.A rhombus with right angles is a square.A rhombus without right angles is ...a rhombus!# So the shape of a rhombus can be square. Some kites are square. # or a rhombus can be 'diamond' shaped, like the diamond on a suite of playing cards. Some kites are diamond shaped.But some kites are shaped like a box (a box kite, for example!), and some kites are shaped like dragons! A rhombus does not look like a box, nor like a dragon!* For more information, and some diagrams, see Related links below.
Do kites have congruent diagonals?
No, kites do not have congruent diagonals.
Do all kites need a tail to help them fly?
No, some kites fly badly with a tail. The tail add stability to a badly balanced kite but it also adds weight so can drag a gently pulling kite down. Unless a kite is homemade or asymetric in design it should be well balanced. As most kites are now mass produced and quite accurate people mostly use them to look pretty! A few kites (Sodi's) have rope tails to add weight at the base and produce the correct angle of attact to the wind. A looped tail made from a single piece of fabric and attached at two points on the base of the kite is used on some kites such as smaller sleds to add to the lift. Kites such as box kites and tetrahedral kites are stable without tails. The most common kite requiring a tail is the flat diamond kite.
Does a kite sometimes have a right angle?
A standard diamond shaped kite may not have a right-angle, but kites come in many sizes and shapes. For example, a box kite will have several right-angles. Whereas the rather fancy dragon and animal shaped kites on public display are usually right-angle free.
Which Australian experimented box kites?
Lawrence Hargreave experimented with box kites, laying the groundwork for pwered flight.
Who flew box kites?
Lawrence Hargraves flew the first box plane.
Where are box kites from?
Box kites were first invented by Lawrence Hargrave, an Australian engineer, in the late 19th century. He designed and flew the first successful box kite in Stanwell Park, Australia in 1893. Since then, box kites have been used worldwide for various purposes, such as recreational flying and scientific research.
How are the kites the same?
Kites are not always triangular, for instance, a box kite. Many kites are quite elaborate in design. The only sameness is that all kites are attached to a long string, and makes use of wind to stay aloft.

Do kites have four sides?
yes kites have four sides ***************************************************************** Answer 2: A traditional diamond-shaped kite has 6 sides (don't forget the front side and the back side). But when drawn as a geometric figure a diamond kite has 4 sides. There are many other shapes for kites, from pentagonal and polygonal kites, delta kites, figural kites (in the shapes of fish, birds, dragons, etc.), box kites, and more, so the answer to your question would depend on the type of kite. Perhaps a more challenging question would be how to find the area of a kite, given that the edges (sides) on most kites are not of equal length.
