alleryA kite's line of symmetry cuts it into two triangles that are what?
ASimilar but unequal
BCongruent mirror images
CAlways right-angled
DAlways equilateral
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Congruent mirror images
1. One diagonal of a kite is its line of symmetry.
2. It divides the kite into two triangles that fold exactly onto each other.
3. So they are congruent mirror images, not just similar, and need not be right-angled or equilateral.
