Lesson 11.3: Perimeter and Area of Rhombi, Trapezoids, and Kites

Question 4 • EHS New Credit Topics in Geometry

A kite has vertices at (2, 4), (5, 4), (5, 1), and (0, –1).What is the approximate perimeter of the kite? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer
A
11.3 units
B
13.6 units
C
16.8 units
D
20.0 units

Explanation

The side lengths in order are 3 units, 3 units, √29 units, and √29 units. The two diagonal lengths are each about 5.4 units, so the perimeter is about 3 + 3 + 5.4 + 5.4 = 16.8 units. The correct choice is C, 16.8 units.
