Question

A kite has two pairs of congruent (equal) sides. If two sides are $56cmand34cm$, what is the perimeter of the kite?

Answer 1

Step1: Given:

Let $a$be the length of the first pair and $b$be the length of the second pair

$a=AB=BC=34cm$

and $b=AD=CD=56cm$

Step2: Finding the perimeter of kite

Perimeter of kite$=2(a+b)$

$=2(34+56)$

$=2\times 90$

$=180cm$

Hence, Perimeter of the kite is $180cm$.
