By definition, a kite has two pairs of \"equal\" sides. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "as you can see in the figure above, \"AB=AD\" and \"BC=DC\". So, as a formula we can say:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "perimeter \"P=+2a%2B2b\" ..........eq.1
\n" ); document.write( "where:
\n" ); document.write( "\"a\" is the length of each side in one pair
\n" ); document.write( "\"b\" is the length of each side in the other pair\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if given that the length of one of its sides is \"14cm\"\"+more\" than \"half\" the length of another, we have\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"a=b%2F2%2B14cm\"......eq.2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since the perimeter of a kite is \"P=64cm\", we have\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"64cm=+2%28b%2F2%2B14cm%29%2B2b\".....solve for \"b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"64cm=+b%2B28cm%2B2b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"64cm-28cm=+3b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"36cm=+3b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"36cm%2F3=+b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28b=12cm%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now go to eq.2 and find \"a\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"a=12cm%2F2%2B14cm\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"a=6cm%2B14cm\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28a=20cm%29\"\r
