What do a kite and a rhombus have in common?
Both the kite shape (lozenge) and rhombus are quadrilaterals. While a rhombus doesn't always have right-angles for the sides, same as the lozenge, each has 4 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.
Can a kite be a rhombus?
Yes.
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!
Is a rhombus not a kite true or false?
True because a kite has different properties
