alleryIn a kite, the diagonal that is the axis of symmetry is the perpendicular bisector of what?
AThe other diagonal
BThe longer side
CBoth equal sides
DThe shorter base
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The other diagonal
1. A kite is orthodiagonal, so its diagonals meet at right angles.
2. The axis diagonal cuts the other diagonal at its midpoint.
3. So it is the perpendicular bisector of the other diagonal, not of a side.
