Question

A kite has 4 equal sides. If 5 was added to each side, the new perimeter will be 56 inches. Find the side length of the original kite.

Answer 1

9 inches

Explanation:

The original side length of the kite was 9 inches because as the perimeter was 56 inches if 5 inches was added to each side, 5x4=20, and 56-20=36. The perimeter of the original kite is 36 inches, and as it has 4 equal sides, 36 divided by 4=9 inches per side. Hope it helps!
