A kite is different from a rhombus in a few ways: * Kites have two pairs of adjacent legs that are congruent, and each pair is a separate length; a rhombus has four congruent sides. * A kite and rhombus both have perpendicular diagonals, but in a kite, only the diagonal between the pairs of sides (the diagonal between two sides of different length) is bisected; the other is not. Also, the diagonals bisect all of the angles of a rhombus; only the angles in the middle of the pairs of sides (angles with two legs of equal length) are bisected. * Only the angles between the pairs of sides are congruent in a kite; a rhombus has 2 pairs of congruent opposite angles. You can also think of a rhombus as a combination between a kite and a parallelogram, the same way you can think of a square as a combination of a rectangle and a rhombus. Hope this helps!

A rhombus that is not a kite?
A rhombus and kite are different quadrilaterals. All four sides of a rhombus are of equal length: this is not necessary for a kite.
Is a rhombus not a kite true or false?
True because a kite has different properties
What is the same about a rhombus and a kite?
One of the same thing about a rhombus and a kite is that, there adjacent sides are equal.
Can a kite be a rhombus?
Yes.
What do a kite and a rhombus have in common?
Both the kite shape (lozenge) and rhombus are quadrilaterals. While a rhombus doesn't always have right-angles for the sides, same as the lozenge, each has 4 sides.
A rhombus that is not a kite?

How is a rhombus different from a kite?
All four sides of a rhombus are the same length.
Is a rhombus not a kite true or false?
True because a kite has different properties
How is a rhombus and kites the same and different?
Because a rhombus is a shape and a kite is a object that is the shape of a rhombus. (only sometimes they are not a rhombus)
Every rhombus is a kite?
No, not every rhombus will be a kite. The opposite is also true that not every kite will be a rhombus.
Can a rhombus be a kite?
With an adequate tail, a rhombus could be a kite.
Why is a rhombus a kite?
It can be a kite.
What is the same about a rhombus and a kite?
One of the same thing about a rhombus and a kite is that, there adjacent sides are equal.
What makes a kite different from a rhombus?
a kits 2 sets of parallel sides and a rhombus has only 1 pair of sides that are parallel.
Can a kite be a rhombus?
Yes.
How is a kite a rhombus?
A rhombus has four sides that are all the same length ---------------------------------------- but if you are talking about the geometric shape kite - it is not a rhombus. A kite has two adjacent sides of equal length and the other two sides of equal length. Only a square can be a rhombus.
What are parellelograms?
kite , rhombus, square, rectangle ,kite,etc...
