Example Question #1 : How To Find The Perimeter Of Kite
A kite has two shorter sides and two longer sides. Each of the shorter sides has a length of 19 and each of the longer sides has a length of 25. What is the perimeter of the kite?
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:
