What objects are shaped like a kite in nature?
In nature, objects shaped like a kite include certain species of butterflies, such as the common bluebottle butterfly, which have wings that are triangular with a long tail resembling a kite. Additionally, certain species of birds, like the swallow-tailed kite, have distinctive forked tails that resemble a kite shape when in flight. Kite-shaped leaves, such as those of the Ginkgo biloba tree, are another example of natural objects resembling a kite.
What are some math words that began with a k?
There are only two. Kappa (K k) and kite. Kappa is the 10th letter in the Greek alphabet and is used for certain curves. Kite is a quadrilateral. It has two adjacent short sides and two adjacent long sides. In other words, it is the shape of a kite.
Why do diagonals of a kite cross at right angles?
The short answer is: because that is what a kite is. Long answer (although some minor steps have been skipped): Consider a kite, ABCD, where AB = DA and BC = CD Draw the diagonal AC. Then triangles ABC and ACD are congruent (SSS). So angle BAC = angle DAC. Now draw diagonal BD which intersects AC at E. Then triangles ABE and ADE are congruent (SAS) So angle AEB = angle AED. But these angles are supplementary. Therefore they must be right angles.
What has 2 short sides that are next to each other and two long sides next to each other?
A quadrilateral. If the short sides are equal in length and the long sides are equal in length then it is a kite. Otherwise it could be a trapezium (eg one with sides 4, 5, 16, 13) or it is an irregular quadrilateral.
Which is a smaller number 003 or 0003?
They both equal the same as long as there are no numbers before the zeroes.
