Sample Response: A kite has two pairs of congruent adjacent sides and opposite sides that are not congruent. Jared has already created one pair of congruent adjacent sides. Since he has used 60 ft of rope, there are 40 ft remaining. This means that he will need 20 ft of rope for each of the other sides, or half of the remaining rope, in order to create another pair of congruent adjacent sides. Since this is a different length than 30 ft, the shape has opposite sides that are not congruent.
