Answer 1

well finding it would be finding the hyponuse for both sides the top and bottom, times two, since there is two sides; so 7^2 + 24^2 = c^2
49 + 576 = c^2
625 = c^2
*sqrt(625 = c
25 = c
so now for the other answer;
7^2 + 4^2 = c^2
49 + 16 = c^2
65 = c^2
*sqrt(65 = c
so for the perimeter we add them twice like this;
25 + 25 + *sqrt(65 + *sqrt(65 = Perimeter
50 + 2(*sqrt(65) = Perimeter
50 + 16.12 = Perimeter
66.12 = Perimeter
The answer would be 66.12 cm, that would be the perimeter of the kite.
