Question 33 • Mathematics III

A kite has a perimeter of 108 feet. One of the longer sides measures 30 feet. What are the lengths of the other three sides?

Answer
A
26 feet, 26 feet, ​​​​​​​26 feet
B
24 feet, 24 feet, ​​​​​​​30 feet
C
24 feet, ​​​​​​​30 feet, ​​​​​​​30 feet
D
30 feet, 48 feet, 48 feet

Explanation

A kite has two pairs of equal adjacent sides. Since one of the longer sides is 30 feet, the other longer side is also 30 feet. The remaining two sides total 108 − 30 − 30 = 48 feet, so each is 24 feet. The other three sides are 24 feet, 24 feet, and 30 feet.
