A kite has 2 short sides and 2 long sides. The 2 short sides are equal. The 2 long sides are also equal. This means that the other short side is 16cm. And the remaining longer sides can be found like this: let's pretend *y* is the long side 2*y = 70 - 16 - 16. (two of the long sides = 70 - short side - another short side) so use algebra to find y. 2*y = 38 y = 19 so the long sides are both 19cm each Your final answer: 16cm, 19cm, 19cm
Independent variables are the things that change to see the affect of the dependant variable. In this case, the size of the last meal changes and affects the giraffes hunger level. The size of its last meal is the independent variable.
