Question

Date : . The perimeter of Kite LIKE is 80 cm. The length of LI is 6cm less than Length of IK. Find the length of each side?

​

Answer 1

lK = KE = 23cm

LI = LE = 27cm

Explanation:

perimeter of kite LIKE =80cm

If IK=x cm

LI=(x-6) cm

Perimeter =2(a+b)

80 = 2(x+(x-6))

80 = 2(x+x-6)

80 = 2(2x-6)

80/2 = 2x-6

40 = 2x-6

2x = 40+6

2x = 46

x =46/2

x = 23

therefore,IK = 23cm

LI = 23-6 = 27cm
