A kite has a perimeter of 70 centimeters. One of the shorter sides measures 16 centimeters. What are the lengths of the other three sides?

A kite has two pairs of equal-length adjacent sides. Since one shorter side is 16 centimeters, the other shorter side is also 16 centimeters. Together, the two shorter sides total 32 centimeters, leaving 70 − 32 = 38 centimeters for the two equal longer sides, or 19 centimeters each. So the other three sides are 16, 19, and 19 centimeters: choice C.
