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.

The main difference between a kite and a rhombus is that a rhombus has all equal sides whereas a kite has two pairs of adjacent equal sides. The similarities of them are that both kite and a rhombus are quadrilaterals. Their angles made at the intersection of diagonals are equal to 90°. All rhombuses are kites, but all kites are not rhombuses.
No, not every rhombus will be a kite. The opposite is also true that not every kite will be a rhombus.
With an adequate tail, a rhombus could be 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.

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!
One of the same thing about a rhombus and a kite is that, there adjacent sides are equal.
Yes.
