One side of a kite is 5 cm less than 2 times the length of another. if the perimeter is 14 cm, find the length of each side of the kite. a) 5 cm, 5 cm b) 4.2 cm, 3.4 cm c) 6.3 cm, 7.7 cm d) 4 cm, 3 cm

D) 4 cm, 3 cm

Let x represent the length of "another" side. Then "one side" can be represented by (2x -5 cm).

The perimeter of the kite is the sum of two sides of each length:

... P = 14 cm = 2(x) + 2(2x -5 cm)

Dividing by 2 and collecting terms, we have ...

... 7 cm = 3x -5 cm

... 12 cm = 3x

... 4 cm = x . . . . the length of "another" side

... 2(4 cm) -5 cm = 3 cm . . . . the length of "one side"

The two different side lengths are 4 cm and 3 cm.
