Are the diagonals of a kite equal in length?
From Wikipedia: '...a kite, or deltoid, is a quadrilateral with two disjoint pairs of congruent adjacent sides, in contrast to a parallelogram, where the congruent sides are opposite.' In other words, a kite consists of two isosceles triangles joined at the base. Beginning with a particular isosceles triangle, it will always be possible to construct from it one kite that has equal diagonals (given that the kite may be either convex or concave). Hence an infinite number of kites do have equal diagonals, but many do not. A notable example of a kite that does have equal diagonals is a square.
Are the diagonals congruent in a rhombus?
The diagonals are perpendicular, but not necessarily congruent.
What are four attributes of a rhombus?
1. Opposite angles congruent 2. All sides are congruent 3. The diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other 4. Diagonals bisect the angles NOTE: Four congruent right triangles are formed with the right angles It has all of the properties of a parallelogram and a kite
What quadrilateral does not have congruent diagonals?
Most quadrilaterals will not have congruent diagonals: rectangles (incl squares) and isosceles trapezium are the exception.
What quadrilateral has four congruent sides but its diagonals are not congruent?
Rhombus.
What would you call a kite with congruent diagonals?
A square.
Are the diagonals of a kite congruent?
No but they do intersect each other at right angles
Can a kite have four congruent diagonals?
No because a kite is a 4 sided quadrilateral with two diagonals of different lengths that intersect each other at right angles.

What has congruent diagonals that is not a rectangle?
Any regular polygon. Lots of irregular polygons can also have congruent diagonals, for example a kite. The answer should not be "a square" because it is a rectangle - a special case but a rectangle nevertheless.
What quadrangle has 2 pairs of congruent adjacent sides and one of the diagonals is the only line of symmetry?
kite
What is the definition of the shape kite?
A kite has two pairs of adjacent sides congruent. The diagonals intersect at right angles and bisect one set of angles.
You are a quardangle with 2 pairs of congruent adjacent sides One of your diagonals is also your only line of symmetry?
Kite
Do kites have congruent diagonals?
No, kites do not have congruent diagonals.
Are diagonals in a trapezoid congruent?
are the diagonals in a trapezoid congruent
Do the diagonals of a quadrilateral kite separate the kite into four congruent triangles?
Not necessarly. If the sum of two of the sides congruent to each other are greater than that of the sides opposite them, then no. If however the kite forms a rombus ot square, the diagnoles will form four congruent triangles with the base of both being the line of symmetry.
Are the diagonals congruent in a rhombus?
The diagonals are perpendicular, but not necessarily congruent.
