Question

Given kite LOVE which mlo = 8 in and mVE = 20 in. What is the perimeter

of the kite?
a. 28 in
b. 34 in
C. 56 in
d. 80 in

Answer 1

The perimeter of kite LOVE is 56 inches, calculated by adding twice the length of each distinct side, since opposite sides in a kite are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the perimeter of kite LOVE, we need to know the lengths of all sides. Since we're given that mLO is 8 inches and mVE is 20 inches, and knowing that opposite sides in a kite are equal in length, we can determine that LO and OV (the opposite side of LO) are both 8 inches, and VE and EL (the opposite side of VE) are both 20 inches.

Therefore, the perimeter P of kite LOVE is calculated as:

P = LO + OV + VE + EL

P = 8 in + 8 in + 20 in + 20 in

P = 56 inches

The perimeter of kite LOVE is 56 inches.
