2. If the area of a kite is 32 cm, how long is the diagonal of a kite which is 4 times longer than the
shorter one?
Solution:
D,= 4x cm Dz = x
%3D
A =1/2 (D, D)
32cm = 1/2 (
32 cm =
am)
=( 2x cm)
2cm
2cm 2
16
=x > D,
16 D,
4x = 4
Therefore the shorter diagonal of the kite is
and the longer diagonal is
