A kite must have two sets of congruent adjacent sides. This question provides the length for one set of congruent adjacent sides, thus the two remaining sides must be congruent to each other. Since, this problem also provides the perimeter measurement of the kite, find the difference between the perimeter and the sum of the congruent adjacent sides provided.    

The solution is:

, where  one of the two missing sides. 




Since the remaining two sides have a total length of  ft, side  must be  

A kite must have two sets of congruent adjacent sides. This question provides the length for one set of congruent adjacent sides, thus the two remaining sides must be congruent to each other. Since, this problem also provides the perimeter measurement of the kite, find the difference between the perimeter and the sum of the congruent adjacent sides provided. Then divide that remaining difference in half, because each of the two sides must have the same length.   

The solution is:

, where  one of the two missing sides.

Remember that a kite has two adjacent sets of shorter sides as well as two adjacent sets of longer sides.

Use the formula for perimeter of a kite:

Where  is the perimeter,  is the length of the shorter sides, and  is the length of the longer sides.

Write the formula to find the perimeter of the kite.

Substitute the lengths and solve for the perimeter.

By definition a kite must have two sets of equivalent sides. Since we know that this kite has a side length of  and another side with a length of , each of these two sides must have one equivalent side. Therefore, the perimeter of this kite can be found by applying the formula:

 





Note: the correct solution can also be found by: 



The original formula used in this solution is an application of the Distributive Property:  

 A kite must have two sets of equivalent sides. Since we know that this kite has a side length of  and another side that is twice as long, , each of these two sides must have one equivalent side. Therefore, the perimeter of this kite can be found by applying the formula:
