Question

Two sides of a kite have lengths 5.6 cm and 10.2 cm. Then, the perimeter of the kite is

• A. 26 cm
• B. 15.8 cm
• C. 20.8 cm
• D. 31.6 cm

Answer 1

The correct option is D 31.6 cm

Let one side of the kite be 5.6 cm and the other side of the kite be 10.2 cm.

Kite is a quadrilateral with exactly two pairs of equal consecutive sides.
So, there will be 2 sides with measure of 5.6 cm and 2 sides with measure of 10.2 cm.

$\Rightarrow$ Perimeter of the kite
$=2\times 5.6+2\times 10.2=11.2+20.4$

$\therefore$ Perimeter of the kite = 31.6 cm
