Example Question #1 : How To Find The Perimeter Of Kite
A kite has two shorter sides and two longer sides. Each of the shorter sides has a length of 19 and each of the longer sides has a length of 25. What is the perimeter of the kite?
Remember that a kite has two adjacent sets of shorter sides as well as two adjacent sets of longer sides.
Use the formula for perimeter of a kite:
Where is the perimeter, is the length of the shorter sides, and is the length of the longer sides.
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Perimeter Of Kite
If the short side of a kite has a length of , and the long side of a kite has a length of , what is the perimeter of the kite?
Write the formula to find the perimeter of the kite.
Substitute the lengths and solve for the perimeter.
Example Question #42 : Quadrilaterals
A kite has a side length of and another side length of . Find the perimeter of the kite.
By definition a kite must have two sets of equivalent sides. Since we know that this kite has a side length of and another side with a length of , each of these two sides must have one equivalent side. Therefore, the perimeter of this kite can be found by applying the formula:
Note: the correct solution can also be found by:
The original formula used in this solution is an application of the Distributive Property:
Example Question #43 : Quadrilaterals
A kite has a side length of and another side length that is twice as long. Find the perimeter of the kite.
A kite must have two sets of equivalent sides. Since we know that this kite has a side length of and another side that is twice as long, , each of these two sides must have one equivalent side. Therefore, the perimeter of this kite can be found by applying the formula:
Note: the correct solution can also be found by:
