The correct Answer is:
To determine whether every rhombus is a kite, we can analyze the properties of both shapes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of a Rhombus**: - A rhombus is a quadrilateral (four-sided figure) where all four sides are of equal length. Additionally, the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles (90 degrees). 2. **Definition of a Kite**: - A kite is also a quadrilateral, but it has two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length. This means that in a kite, two sides are of one length and the other two sides are of another length. 3. **Comparing Properties**: - In a rhombus, since all four sides are equal, it can be seen as having two pairs of equal adjacent sides (since every side is equal to its adjacent side). This means that a rhombus satisfies the condition of having two pairs of equal adjacent sides, which is a requirement for being classified as a kite. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since a rhombus meets the criteria for being a kite (having two pairs of equal adjacent sides), we can conclude that every rhombus is indeed a kite.
