How to find if kites are similar - Intermediate Geometry
Card 0 of 4
A kite has two different side lengths of 
and 
. Find the measurements for a similar kite.
A kite has two different side lengths of
A kite is a geometric shape that has two sets of equivalent adjacent sides. In order for two kites to be similar their sides must have the same ratios.
Since, the given kite has side lengths 
and 
, they have the ratio of 
.
Therefore, find the side lengths that have a ratio of 
.
The only answer choice with this ratio is: 
A kite is a geometric shape that has two sets of equivalent adjacent sides. In order for two kites to be similar their sides must have the same ratios.
Since, the given kite has side lengths
Therefore, find the side lengths that have a ratio of
The only answer choice with this ratio is:

Suppose the ratio of a kite's side lengths is 
to 
. Find a similar kite.
Suppose the ratio of a kite's side lengths is
To find a similar kite, first take the ratios of the two sides and convert this to fractional form.
Rationalize the denominator.
