Question
### Geometry Problem: Kite Perimeter Calculation

#### Objective
Calculate the perimeter of the kite WXYZ as shown in the coordinate plane.

#### Graph Description
The coordinate plane displays a kite-shaped figure, labeled as WXYZ. The vertices of the kite are as follows:
- \( W(-3, 3) \)
- \( X(2, 3) \)
- \( Y(4, -4) \)
- \( Z(-3, -2) \)

A blue shaded region highlights the area of the kite.

#### Question
**What is the perimeter of kite WXYZ?**

#### Answer Choices
- \( \sqrt{53} + 2 \) units
- \( 2\sqrt{53} + 5 \) units
- \( 2\sqrt{53} + 10 \) units
- \( 2\sqrt{53} + 14 \) units

#### Calculation Strategy
To determine the perimeter of the kite, calculate the distance between each pair of adjacent vertices using the distance formula:

\[ \text{Distance} = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \]

By finding the lengths of each side of the kite and summing them, one can determine the kite's perimeter.
