Answer

Length of the shorter side = 12 cm Length of the longer side = 21 cm

Work Step by Step

length of the shorter side = x length of the longer side = 2x - 3 2x + 2 (2x - 3) = 66 2x + 4x - 6 = 66 6x = 66 + 6 x = 72 / 6 x = 12 cm Length of the longer side: 2 ( 12 ) - 3 = 24 - 3 = 21 cm Length of the sides of the kite: 12 cm, 12 cm, 21 cm, 21 cm
