Answer: Perimeter of entire figure is 4x bigger than the perimeter of one kite


Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  Three congruent kites are placed together edge-to-edge.

The bottom edge is 4x and the top edge is x.

∴Perimeter of one kite =x+x+4x+4x=10x

Perimeter of entire figure=4x+x+x+x+x+x+x+4x=14x

Clearly 14x>10x

i.e.Perimeter of entire figure>Perimeter of one kite

Difference between the perimeter is =Perimeter of entire figure-Perimeter of one kite=14x-10x=4x

∴ Perimeter of entire figure is 4x bigger than the perimeter of one kite
