I think it is never true.

esshotwired · Answer

Are you 110% sure? if you could, can you tell me why you think that?

wolf1728 · Answer

I'm working on a graphic - see attached
Do you think a kite would work if it were perfectly symmetrical ?
The string would be half way up.

esshotwired · Answer

i dont think it matters if it works or not, just that is has the traits of a kite in geometry

wolf1728 · Answer

Then I'd say definitely yes.
A kite (definition) 
A quadrilateral that has two pairs of adjacent equal sides. It has one axis of symmetry.
A rhombus would have all adjacent sides equal. A rhombus would have 2 axes of symmetry but I don't know if that stops it from being a kite.

esshotwired · Answer

So you think it would be always?

wolf1728 · Answer

Now that I think of it the answer is sometimes.

A kite is a rhombus - SOMETIMES.
