Question

A paper hat is folded into the shape of a kite, as shown.

A kite is shown. The left and right angles are right angles. The sides above the right angles are (3 x + 5) inches and (5 x + 1) inches. The sides below the right angle are (2 x + 1) inches and 5 inches.

What total length of ribbon is needed to line the two long sides of the hat?

Answer 1

Answer:

D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The total length of ribbon needed to line the two long sides of the hat is 22 inches.

Given that, the sides above the right angles are (3x + 5) inches and (5x + 1) inches. The sides below the right angle are (2x + 1) inches and 5 inches.

What are the properties of kites?

A kite is a quadrilateral that has 2 pairs of equal adjacent sides. The angles where the adjacent pairs of sides meet are equal.

Now, (3x + 5)=(5x + 1)

⇒x=2

2x+1=5

⇒x=2

Thus, (3x + 5)=11 inches

Now, 11+11=22 inches

Therefore, the required answer is 22 inches.
