We think of a kite shaping having 2 equal lines forming an inverted V, and 2 shorter equal lines which link from each side of the V to the bottom of the kite.

If you draw a straight line from the top of the kite to the bottom you will form 2 congruent (same size and shape) triangles . Since the triangles are congruent, meaning copies of each other it follows that the angles between the unequal sides are themselves equal.

How many different crystals are crystals classified into?

Seven. They are: Cubic - all angles 90 degrees, all sides equal length Trigonal - all angles 90 degrees, two sides equal and the third unequal Orthorhombic - all angles 90 degrees, no sides equal Hexagonal - two angles 90 degrees and one angle 120 degrees, two sides unequal and the third unequal Trigonal - all angles equal but not 90, all sides equal Monoclinic - two angles 90, one more than 90, and no sides equal Triclinic - no angles equal, no sides equal For a graphical representation of these, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_system#Classification_of_lattices


What is the difference between rhombus and squre and rectangle?

A rectangle is a plane figure with four straight sides and four right angles, esp. one with unequal adjacent sides. A square is a plane figure with four equal straight sides and four right angles. A rhombus is a parallelogram with opposite equal acute angles, opposite equal obtuse angles, and four equal sides.


What is a polygon with 12 unequal sides called?

It is a dodecagon. While it is irregular, so is a dodecagon with equal sides but unequal angles, so "irregular" is not enough.


What is a polygon with 4 unequal sides called?

A polygon whose sides are not equal is known as an irregular polygon. A regular polygon has equal sides and angles.


What do you call an unequal 5 sided shape?
