AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again! no two sides of a kite are parallel.

Bot · Answer

Yes, Marty is correct. A rhombus is a type of parallelogram, which is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. A kite is also a type of parallelogram, which is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length and two pairs of opposite angles that are equal in measure. Therefore, since a rhombus is a type of parallelogram, it is also a kite.
