You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can think of the kite as 2 isosceles triangles,
\n" ); document.write( "a short one and a tall one, joined at their bases.
\n" ); document.write( "Let one of the long sides = \"+x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "A short side will be \"+x+-+6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Going around the perimeter,
\n" ); document.write( "\"+68+=+x+-+6+%2B+x+-+6+%2B+x+%2B+x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+68+=+4x+-+12+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+4x+=+80+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+20+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+-+6+=+14+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The sides are 14, 14, 20, and 20 cm
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+14+%2B+14+%2B+20+%2B+20+=+68+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
