![]() The concave kite is sometimes known as dart or arrowhead. In fact, the kite has become the synonym of a convex kite. And, the area is half of the product of the perpendicular and the height of the quadrilateral.Ī kite is both concave and convex. ![]() The area of a kite is recorded via the method of calculation of orthodiagonal quadrilateral. Rectangular and square are two equiangular kites. A kite that has four equal angles is known as an equiangular kite. In a rhombus, all sides are equal but not angles. The specific name of this kite is a rhombus. ![]() Types of kitesĪccording to Euclidean geometry, a kite can be classified into two types.įirst is, the equilateral kite. Since square is also a hierarchy of a rhombus, hence it is indirectly a hierarchy of the kite. The only difference is that it has four equal angles as well. It is considered as a hierarchy of a rhombus. However, a rhombus has four equal sides and diagonals. Because it has fulfilled all criteria of a kite. Other shapes like rhombus are considered as the subset of a kite. Next is, partitional in which shapes are not divided into sets and subsets.Ī kite is a hierarchical geometry. For example, kite and parallelogram are the hierarchy of quadrilateral. One is, hierarchical in which shapes are divided into sets and subsets. There are two types of hierarchy that are followed in the differentiation of shapes. Another diagonal divides the kite into two isosceles triangles.įor example, a part of a kite, the rhombus has two axes of symmetry whereas the square has four axes of symmetry. The line of symmetry passes through one of the diagonals of the kite. One axis of symmetry symbolizes that a kite can be divided into two equal parts. Other forms of kites have more than one axis of symmetry. The first is, isosceles trapezoids and the other is a kite. There could be only two non-self crossing quadrilaterals that can have a single axis of symmetry. That is, it divides the whole kite into two equal parts.Ī kite has an axis of symmetry. One of the diagonals is the line of symmetry of the kite.One of the diagonal divide the kite into two congruent triangles and the other divides the kite into two isosceles triangles.One of the diagonals bisects the two opposite angles.Its diagonals should bisect each other perpendicularly.A kite should have two pairs of equal sides that are located adjacent to each other.A kite is a part of Euclidian geometry but is not normally used. One of the two opposite angles of the quadrilateral is equal. A parallelogram also has 4 sides but the equal sides are opposite not adjacent. It has four sides with equal adjacent sides. The other name for kite is deltoids but it is not popular among people.Ī kite is quite specific in its shape. The name ‘kite’ is given based on its shape. Difference Between Kite and Rhombus in Tabular Form Parameter of comparisonĪ kite is a quadrilateral with four sides in which adjacent are equal in length. Adjacent sides are equal, diagonals bisect other perpendicularly, etc. For example, opposite sides are parallel and equal to each other, diagonals bisect each other, adjacent sides are equal, the sum of two consecutive angles is 180°, etc. Thus, it carries out all properties of a parallelogram. The diagonals bisect each other at 90°.Ī rhombus is a subset of both a parallelogram and a kite. And, the opposite angles of the rhombus are equal. It means all sides of a rhombus are equal. The only difference is that in a rhombus, all adjacent sides are equal. This gives the advanced feature to give a defined look to the shape.Ī rhombus is the same as a kite. The upper side of a kite is slightly smaller and the tail is slightly longer. One makes a congruent pair and the other makes an isosceles triangle.Ī kite looks like a slice of a diamond. The diagonals of a kite divide it into two equal parts. It is different from a parallelogram that has opposite sides equal. The specific characteristics of a kite are that its two adjacent sides are equal. ![]() The very name of the kite is derived from the resemblance in the shape of a kite and a flying kite. RhombusĪ Kite is shaped like a kite that flies in the sky. Also, its significant properties include equal adjacent sides, etc. However, being rhombus a part of a kite, it inherits all the features of a kite. And, one diagonal divides the kite into two isosceles triangles and the other divides it into two congruent triangles. A kite is a diamond-shaped shape in which two adjacent sides are equal. Both a kite and a rhombus are a significant part of geometry. Geometry is one of the important branches of mathematics. ![]()
