Alright, well I don't really know what to make of those drawings. Is there a formula or an equation I can follow?

not a rhombus per se, but thereabouts

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

perimeter = length around the shape. so basically you just need to add all the lengths around the kite

you need to add all those lengths. which lengths u dont knw ?

Well, I've added up the sides and I'm not getting the right answer. The answer options on my review package are 25, 8.06, 65, and 66.12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When I added the sides I got 35, which I thought was right but it's not an option

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

okie, i see where u did the mistake - u need to first find the OUTER sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And how do I do that if there are only three numbers? Sorry I'm confused haha
