ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

whats the definition of a kite ? whats the definition of a rhombus ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Kite : sides are adjacent (the ones that are right next to each other) has four sides . Makes a perpendicular bisector Rhombus: four equal sides , equal obtuse and acute angels

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes :) that can be reduced to below :- kite : two pairs of equal adjacent sides rhombus : all sides are equal

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since, kite just requires two pairs of adjacent sides to be equal, a kite can be sometimes a rhombus

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats a kite cuz two pairs of adjacent sides are equal, but its not a rhombus as not all sides are equal

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

however, for some kites, when all sides equal, they can be rhombus ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay I get it. Two sides of a kite are adjacent. But since a rhombus has four equal sides wouldn't that mean never? Wait so sometimes all sides are equal?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

above is both a kite and rhombus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OHHHHH MIND BLOW I GET IT

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so, kites are sometimes rhombus :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
