alleryA kite has reflection symmetry across which line?
ABoth its diagonals
BA midline of sides
COne of its diagonals
DAny of its sides
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. One of its diagonals
1. A kite has two pairs of equal adjacent sides.
2. Folding along the diagonal between the two unequal corners matches the halves; this is its mirror line.
3. Both diagonals work only for a rhombus, and a side or midline does not fold a kite onto itself.
