Question

jared is using a 100 ft rope to set up a kite - shaped area for food vendors. he has started roping off the area as shown below, and has one more stake to place. how can jared use all of the rope to complete the kite shape? explain. 30 ft 30 ft

Explanation:

Answer:

A kite has two pairs of adjacent - congruent sides. He has already used \(30 + 30=60\) ft of rope. So, he has \(100 - 60 = 40\) ft of rope left. Place the last stake so that the two remaining sides are each 20 ft long. Since a kite has two pairs of adjacent - congruent sides, with one pair being 30 ft and the other pair being 20 ft, he can use all 100 ft of the rope to complete the kite - shaped area.
