A kite is a quadilateral where two disjoint pairs of sides are equal. A kite has two pairs of equal sides that are adjacent to each other.
In a kite, all four sides are not equal.
For the quadilateral given ABCD to be cosidered a kite, the correct statement that is enough to prove this is:
Not all four sides of ABCD are equal, but there are two palrs of equal adjacent sides.
Given:
EB = 24 meters
EC = 10 meters
EA = 80 meters
To find the perimeter of the kite, first find AB and BC.
To find AB use pythagoras theorem since ABE forms a right triangle.
We have:
Let's also Find BC using pythagoras theorem:
Therefore, to find the perimeter of the kite use the formula:
P = 2(AB + BC)
P = 2(83.5 + 26)
P = 219 meters
To find the area, use the formula below:
Where
AC= 80 + 10 = 90 meters
BD = 24 + 24 = 48
ANSWER:
B. Not all four sides of ABCD are equal, but there are two palrs of equal adjacent sides.
Perimeter = 219 meters
Area = 2160 meters square
