Example Question #1 : How To Find If Kites Are Similar

Suppose the ratio of a kite's side lengths is $\sqrt 2$ to $\sqrt3$ . Find a similar kite.

Possible Answers:

$\sqrt6:1$

$1:\sqrt6$

$\sqrt7:\sqrt6$

$\sqrt6:\sqrt{54}$

$\sqrt6:3$

Correct answer:

$\sqrt6:3$

Explanation:

To find a similar kite, first take the ratios of the two sides and convert this to fractional form.

$\sqrt2:\sqrt3= \frac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt3}$

Rationalize the denominator.

$\frac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt3}=\frac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt3}\cdot \frac{\sqrt3}{\sqrt3}=\frac{\sqrt6}{3}$

The ratios of $\sqrt2:\sqrt3$ matches that of $\sqrt6:3$ .

Example Question #2 : How To Find If Kites Are Similar

Suppose a kite has side lengths of and . What must the side lengths be for a similar kite?

Possible Answers:

1,2

6,10

5,9

12,15

2,3

Correct answer:

12,15

Explanation:

Write the side lengths 4 and 5 as a ratio.

4:5

The only side lengths that match this ratio by a scale factor of is 12:15 .

$4\cdot 3:5\cdot 3 \rightarrow 12:15$

Therefore, the correct side lengths are 12,15 .

Example Question #1 : Kites

If a kite has lengths of and , what is the perimeter?

Possible Answers:

$6\sqrt2$

$9\sqrt2$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Write the formula to find the perimeter of a kite.

P=2(a+b)

Substitute the lengths and solve.

P=2(2+4)=12

Example Question #1 : Kites

If a kite has lengths of $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ , what is the perimeter?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{8}$

$\frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{6}{7}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{3}{2}$

Explanation:

Write the formula for the perimeter of a kite.

P=2(a+b)

Substitute the lengths and solve.

$P=2\left(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}\right) = 2\left(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}\right)=2\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)=\frac{3}{2}$

Example Question #1 : Kites

What is the perimeter of a kite if the lengths were and y^2 ?

Possible Answers:

$\sqrt2 xy^2$

2x+2y^2

4x^2+2y^4

2x+y^2

$\frac{xy^2}{2}$

Correct answer:

2x+2y^2

Explanation:

Write the formula to find the perimeter of a kite.

P=2(a+b)

Substitute the lengths and simplify.

P=2(x+y^2)=2x+2y^2

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Length Of The Side Of A Kite

The diagonals of a kite are inches and inches respectively. Two of the sides of the kite are each inches. Find the length of the other two sides.

Possible Answers:

15 in.

12 in.

13 in.

16 in.

20 in.

Correct answer:

15 in.

Explanation:

We would do best to begin with a picture.

One of our diagonals is bisected by the other, and thus each half is 12. The other important thing to recall is that the diagonals of a kite are perpendicular. Therefore we have four right triangles. We can then use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the upper portion of the vertical diagonal to be 5. That means that the bottom portion of our diagonal is 9.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can calculate our remaining sides to be 15.

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Length Of The Side Of A Kite

A kite has a perimeter of inches. One pair of adjacent sides of the kite have a length of inches. What is the measurement for each of the other two sides of the kite?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{6}{5}in$

7in

6in

$\frac{7}{2}in$

20in

Correct answer:

7in

Explanation:

To find the missing side of this kite, work backwards using the formula:

p=2(a+b) , where and represent the length of one side from each of the two pairs of adjacent sides.

The solution is:

26=2(6+b)

$\frac{26}{2}=(6+b)$

13=6+b

b=13-6=7
