Card 0 of 126
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?
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:
Where 
is the perimeter, 
is the length of the shorter sides, and 
is the length of the longer sides.
