Jared is using a 100 ft rope to set up a kite-shaped area for food vendors. He has started roping off the area as shown below, and has one more stake to place. How can Jared use all of the rope to complete the kite shape? Explain. 30 ft 30 ft

In geometry a kite is quadrilateral whose four sides can be grouped into two pairs of equal-length sides that are adjacent to each other.

Since Jared already put two adjecents sides of 30 ft the other sides has to have a length of 20 ft. In that way we will use the 100 ft rope.
