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.


Why are some equations called identites?

That means that they are always true. For example: x + x = 2x is true for ANY value of "x", so it is an identity. In contrast, x + 2 = 5 is only true for one specific value of "x", so it is not an identity.

What are turnaround facts in math?

Turnaround facts in addition are numbers or parts that can be switched with the answer staying the same. For example 3+4=7 4+3=7 In subtraction the total stays the same in the beginning of the equation and the parts are switched. For example 7-3=4 7-4=3 Good luck
