Example Question #301 : Intermediate Geometry
A kite has two different side lengths of 
A kite is a geometric shape that has two sets of equivalent adjacent sides. In order for two kites to be similar their sides must have the same ratios.
Since, the given kite has side lengths 
Therefore, find the side lengths that have a ratio of 
The only answer choice with this ratio is:
Example Question #2 : Kites
A kite has two different side lengths of 
A kite is a geometric shape that has two sets of equivalent adjacent sides. In order for two kites to be similar their sides must have the same ratios.
The given side lengths for the kite are 
The only answer choice with the same relationship between side lengths is: 
Example Question #1 : Kites
Suppose the ratio of a kite's side lengths is 
To find a similar kite, first take the ratios of the two sides and convert this to fractional form.
Rationalize the denominator.
The ratios of 
Example Question #2 : Kites
Suppose a kite has side lengths of 
Write the side lengths 4 and 5 as a ratio.
The only side lengths that match this ratio by a scale factor of 
Therefore, the correct side lengths are
