Question 5 • EAP-Geometry B CR

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
24 feet, 24 feet, 30 feet
B
24 feet, 30 feet, 30 feet
C
26 feet, 26 feet, 26 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. Together, the longer sides total 60 feet, leaving 108 − 60 = 48 feet for the two equal shorter sides, or 24 feet each. The other three sides are 30 feet, 24 feet, and 24 feet: choice A.
