Problem of the Week Problem D Go Fly a Kite Amanda wants to fly a kite. The kite is composed of two isosceles triangles, AABD and ABCD. The height of ABCD is 2 times the height of AABD, and the width of the kite, BD, is 1.5 times the height of the larger triangle. If the area of the kite is 1800 cm, what is the perimeter of the kite?
