Question

A playground in the town is in the form of a kite. The perimeter is 106 meters. If measure of one of its LONGER sides is 23 meters, what are the lengths of other TWO SHORTER sides?

Answer 1

$perimeter \: of \: playground = 2(longer \: sides) + 2(shorter \: sides)$

$let \: length \: of \: shorter \: side \: be \: x$

$106 = 2(23) + 2(x)$

$106 = 46 + 2x$

$2x = 60$

$x = 30$

$length \: of \: shorter \: side \: is \: 30m$

Answer 2

Answer:

30/30

Step-by-step explanation:

let's consider playground PSACperimeter of kite =sum of all sidesbut first Lets find the sidesas it's a kite shaped, opposite sides are equalPS=23=AC=23NOW Let's find the left two as they are same let's consider them X23+23+X+X=10646+2X=1062X=106-462X=60X=60/2X=30therefore the left two sides are 30cm
