Question

A kite has a perimeter of 38 in. If the length of one side is 8 in, what could be the length of one of the other sides?


A) 10 in

B) 11 in

C) 15 in

D) 20 in

Answer 1

The perimeter is the sides all added up. A kite has two pairs of congruent sides. (they have the same measure)

So, 

8+8= 16

38-16= 22

Since two sides have equal lengths, divide this by 2.

22/2=11

"B" 11 in, is the answer.

I hope this helps!
