Answer:

• Problem:

The perimeter of a kite is 64 cm, the length of one of its side is 14 cm more than half the length of another. Find the length of each side of the kite.

• Solution:

To find the length of each side, let's formulate two expressions and an equation.

The first one is for the first length, x.

The second one is for the other length, ½x + 14.

While the equation for the perimeter of a kite is 2 ( a + b ) = 64. Substitute the given expressions to the equation.

Thus, the value of x is 12.

Lengths of each side of the kite.

• Answer:

The lengths of each side of the kite are 12 cm and 20 cm.
