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.


What has 2 short sides and 2 long sides?

Definitely a quadrilateral. However, if the short sides are equal in length, and the long sides are equal in length then it could be a Kite, Rectangle or Parallelogram, depending upon whether the two short sides are next to, or opposite to, each other, and in the latter case if the angles are all 90° or not. Also, if two of the sides are parallel but the other two are not, then it could be a trapezium.
