Question

which of the following properties are true of a kite?

a kite has:

no right angles
2 pairs of parallel sides
1 pair of parallel sides
4 congruent sides
2 right angles
no parallel sides
4 right angles
2 pairs of congruent sides

Explanation:

Define a kite

A kite is a quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of adjacent congruent sides.

Analyze side properties

Using the Parallel Lines concept, we check for parallel sides. A standard kite has no parallel sides. Thus, "no parallel sides" is true, and "2 pairs of congruent sides" is also true.

Analyze angle properties

A kite does not require right angles, though a right kite can have them. Thus, general angle options are not universally true.

Select correct properties

The universally true properties for any kite are "no parallel sides" and "2 pairs of congruent sides".

Answer:

• no right angles
• 2 pairs of parallel sides
• 1 pair of parallel sides
• 4 congruent sides
• 2 right angles
• no parallel sides (Correct answer)
• 4 right angles
• 2 pairs of congruent sides (Correct answer)
