Best Answer

No.

A kite is a quadrilateral (4 sided figure) with two pairs of adjacent sides of equal length; its diagonals are perpendicular.

A triangle has 3 sides.

What is a plane figure formed by coplanar segments?

It is a plane figure, for example, a semicircle, a triangle, a kite.


Is a kite quadrilateral in shape?

Actually, it depends on the kite maker. It may be quadrilateral in shape, as you asked. It can also be square. It can be a triangle, like the Chinese make it, or it can be any fancy shape.


Which 2d shape has at least one line of symmetry?

An isosceles triangle and a kite have only one line of symmetry.


What do all the angles of a kite equal?

360 degrees, assuming the kite is a rectangle. Regardless, if it has 4 corners, totaling all those up would bring you to 360. if the kite is a triangle, then its angles would total to 180 degrees. These are the two most common types of kites.


Find the area of a kite with diagonals of 28ft and 13ft?

A kite is called a quadrilateral that has two adjacent sides of equal length and the other two sides of equal in length. If the kite ABCD has AB = AD and CB = CD, then diagonals AC and BD are perpendiculars and AC bisects BD. Let AC = 28 ft, and BD = 13 ft. Let say that the two diagonals intersect each other at the point E. In the kite ABCD, we have two congruent triangle, the triangle ABC and the triangle ADC, where the diagonal AC is the common base, BE and DE are their altitudes. Since AC bisect BD, we are able to find the area of the kite, which is equal to 2 times the area of one of these congruent triangles. Let's find it: Area of the triangle ABC: AC = 28 ft and BE = 6.5 ft (13/2) A = (1/2)(AC)(BE) = (1/2)(28)(6.5) = 91 ft^2 Thus the area of the kite is 182 ft^2 (2 x 91).

What 4 sided shape do you get when you cut a triangle in half?

The answer will depend on the triangle and the cut. You could get a trapezium, a kite or an ordinary quadrilateral. Any parallelogram is impossible if there is only one cut.

this shape has at least one line of symmetry The answer is:- Symmetrical.


How do you find area in a kite?

A kite is basically 2 sets of triangles made from 2 different sized squares. So for each of the large and small triangles - the calculation is ......... (length x depth)x2 So for the whole kite ..... small triangle (length x depth)x2 plus large triangle (length x depth)x2 is the area in units squared (e.g. cm2)
