Question

Is rhombus a kite? why?

Answer 2

here is your answer

it's answer is no......

because..........


In general, a kite is nether a rhombus nor a square.

A kite has four sides, two of length a and two of length b. The two sides of length a are adjacent to each other, as are the two sides of length b.

A rhombus is a special case of a kite and a square is a special case of a rhombus.

In my opinion, the best way to think of a kite is as two isosceles triangles joined ‘base to base’. This means that the two, joined isosceles triangles both have equal ‘base’ side lengths and the ‘common base’ forms a diagonal of the kite.

If the two isosceles triangles are similar (equiangular) then your kite is a rhombus. If the two isosceles triangles are right triangles then your kite is a square. Otherwise you simply have a kite (which may or may not fly).

I leave it to your imagination to conjure up the necessary images.
