The perimeter of a kite is 88 cm. The length of one of its sides is 4 cm less than 3 times the length of another. Find the length of each side of the kite.
For a kite ....there are two sets of sides that re equal length....
so side a + side b = 44
a = 3b -4
a + b = 44
3b-4 +b = 44
4b-4 =44
4b=48
b= 12 a = 3b-4 = 32
