Problema Solution
The frame if a kite is made from two strips of wood one 27 inches long and one 18 inches long what is the perimeter of the kite round to the nearest tenth
Answer provided by our tutors
We assume that the 'frame of a kite' is a reference only to the outer frame, so ignoring the inner cross-members. To specify 'one 18 inches', however, is completely ambiguous and we assume that the typo indicates a kite with two strips of 27 inches and two strips of 18 inches. Let 'p' represent the perimeter:
p=2*27+2*18
p=90
The perimeter of the kite would be 90 inches, given all of the assumptions which are required.
