Example Question #21 : Kites

Kite_series_2

What is the length of side 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

A kite is a geometric shape that has two sets of equivalent adjacent sides. In this kite the two adjacent sides which are congruent are those at the top of the kite and then likewise, the two that are connected at the bottom of the kite.

Thus,  must equal 

Example Question #23 : Kites

A kite has one set of equivalent sides each with a measurement of . Additionally, the kite has a perimeter of  Find the length for one of the other two sides of the kite. 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

A kite is a geometric shape that has two sets of equivalent adjacent sides.

Therefore plug in the given information into the formula: 

, where  and  are the lengths of opposite sides of the kite and solve for

Example Question #21 : Kites

Kite_series_2

Using the kite shown above, find the length of side 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

A kite is a geometric shape that has two sets of equivalent adjacent sides.

Therefore plug in the given information into the formula: , where  and  are the lengths of opposite sides of the kite and solve for










Example Question #331 : Plane Geometry

Kite_series_2

Using the kite shown above, find the length of side 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

A kite is a geometric shape that has two sets of equivalent adjacent sides.

In this particular case the top sides that are connected at the top are congruent and the two sides that are connected at the bottom are congruent.

Thus, side  must equal  inches. 


Example Question #29 : Kites

A kite has one set of equivalent sides each with a measurement of . Additionally, the kite has a perimeter of  Find the length for one of the other two sides of the kite. 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

A kite is a geometric shape that has two sets of equivalent adjacent sides.

Therefore plug in the given information into the formula: 

, where  and  are the lengths of opposite sides of the kite and solve for







Example Question #332 : Plane Geometry

A kite has one set of equivalent sides each with a measurement of  yards. Additionally, the kite has a perimeter of  yards. Find the length for one of the other two sides of the kite. 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

A Kkite is a geometric shape that has two sets of equivalent adjacent sides.

Therefore plug in the given information into the formula: 

, where  and  are the lengths of opposite sides of the kite and solve for







Example Question #1 : Parallelograms

The length of a parallelogram is  cm and the width is  cm. One of its diagonals measures  cm. Find the length of the other diagonal.  

Possible Answers:

None of the other answers.

 

Correct answer:

 

Explanation:

The formula for the relationship between diagonals and sides of a parallologram is

 ,

where  represents one diagonal, 

 represents the other diagonal, 

 represents a side, and 

 represents the adjoining side.  

So, in this problem, substitute the known values and solve for the missing diagonal. 

So, the missing diagonal is  cm.
