Question

what is the perimeter of kite pqrs? 58 cm 68 cm 48 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Recall kite - side property

In a kite, two pairs of adjacent sides are equal. So, \(PQ = PS=17\) cm and \(QR = SR = 12\) cm.

Step2: Calculate the perimeter

The perimeter \(P\) of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides. For kite \(PQRS\), \(P=PQ + QR+RS + SP\). Substituting the values: \(P = 17+12 + 12+17\).
\[P=(17 + 17)+(12 + 12)=34 + 24=58\]

Answer:

58 cm
