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!


Are the opposite angles on a kite the same?

Only if the kite is a rhombus or square. For the kite shape (aka deltoid), only the two sides have equal angles, and their sides are equilateral. The top and bottom angles are not equal.

Would a rhombus and a kite be congruent?

If all of the sides of the kite have the same length, and it happens to be the sameas the length of each side of the rhombus, andeach angle of the kite happens to bethe same size as one of the angles of the rhombus, thenthey can be congruent.


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 rhombus and kites the same and different?

Because a rhombus is a shape and a kite is a object that is the shape of a rhombus. (only sometimes they are not a rhombus)


Why does rhombus and a kite have same formula for area?

because they are the same shape


Every rhombus is a kite?

No, not every rhombus will be a kite. The opposite is also true that not every kite will be a rhombus.

no a rhombus is like a kite or a volcom emblem ( if you don't know know what that is either google images it or stick with thinking its a kite :) )
