Geometry - How to find the length of the side of a kite

A kite has a perimeter of inches. One pair of adjacent sides of the kite have a length of inches. What is the measurement for each of the other two sides of the kite?

$\frac{7}{2}in$

$\frac{6}{5}in$

Explanation

To find the missing side of this kite, work backwards using the formula:

, where and represent the length of one side from each of the two pairs of adjacent sides.

The solution is:

$\frac{26}{2}=(6+b)$

Using the kite shown above, find the length of side

Explanation

A kite is a geometric shape that has two sets of equivalent adjacent sides.

Thus, the length of side .

Since, , must equal .

What is the length of side

Explanation

A kite is a geometric shape that has two sets of equivalent adjacent sides. In this kite the two adjacent sides which are congruent are those at the top of the kite and then likewise, the two that are connected at the bottom of the kite.

Thus, must equal .

A kite has a perimeter of mm. One pair of adjacent sides of the kite have lengths of mm. What is the measurement for one of the other two sides of the kite?

Explanation

To find the missing side of this kite, work backwards using the formula:

, where and represent the length of one side from each of the two pairs of adjacent sides.

The solution is:

$\frac{50}{2}=12+b$

A kite has one set of equivalent sides each with a measurement of . Additionally, the kite has a perimeter of Find the length for one of the other two sides of the kite.

Explanation

A kite is a geometric shape that has two sets of equivalent adjacent sides.

Therefore plug in the given information into the formula:

, where and are the lengths of opposite sides of the kite and solve for .

$\frac{48}{2}=(9+b)$

A kite has a perimeter of inches. One pair of adjacent sides of the kite have lengths of inches. What is the measurement for one of the other two sides of the kite?

$\frac{7}{2}in$

Explanation

To find the missing side of this kite, work backwards using the formula:

, where and represent the length of one side from each of the two pairs of adjacent sides.

The solution is:

$\frac{34}{2}=14+b$

A kite has one set of equivalent sides each with a measurement of . Additionally, the kite has a perimeter of Find the length for one of the other two sides of the kite.

Explanation

A kite is a geometric shape that has two sets of equivalent adjacent sides.

Therefore plug in the given information into the formula:

, where and are the lengths of opposite sides of the kite and solve for .

$a+31=\frac{88}{2}$

Using the kite shown above, find the length of side

$\frac{21}{2}cm$

Explanation

To find the missing side of this kite, work backwards using the formula:

, where and represent the length of one side from each of the two pairs of adjacent sides.

The solution is:

$\frac{58}{2}=11+b$

A kite has one set of equivalent sides each with a measurement of cm. Additionally, the kite has a perimeter of cm. Find the length for one of the other two sides of the kite.
