The problem asks to find the perimeter of kite $WXYZ$. We are given $WX = XY = 14$ and $ZU = 28$. We already know that $YZ = 14\sqrt{5}$. Since $ZU$ is a perpendicular bisector of $WY$, we know that $U$ is the midpoint of $WY$, so $WU = UY = 7$. We are also given $WZ = YZ$.

1. Problem Description

The problem asks to find the perimeter of kite WXYZWXYZ. We are given WX=XY=14WX = XY = 14 and ZU=28ZU = 28. We already know that YZ=145YZ = 14\sqrt{5}. Since ZUZU is a perpendicular bisector of WYWY, we know that UU is the midpoint of WYWY, so WU=UY=7WU = UY = 7. We are also given WZ=YZWZ = YZ.

2. Solution Steps

Since WXYZWXYZ is a kite, we have WX=XYWX = XY and WZ=YZWZ = YZ. We are given WX=XY=14WX = XY = 14 and UZ=28UZ = 28. We need to find the length of WZWZ.
We know that WUZ\triangle WUZ is a right triangle, with legs WU=7WU = 7 and UZ=28UZ = 28. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find WZWZ.
WZ2=WU2+UZ2WZ^2 = WU^2 + UZ^2
WZ2=72+282WZ^2 = 7^2 + 28^2
WZ2=49+784WZ^2 = 49 + 784
WZ2=833WZ^2 = 833
WZ=833=49×17=717WZ = \sqrt{833} = \sqrt{49 \times 17} = 7\sqrt{17}
Since WZ=YZWZ = YZ, we have YZ=833YZ = \sqrt{833}. The problem provides YZ=145YZ=14\sqrt{5} but it is inconsistent with the given image, so using Pythagorean theorem we find YZ=WZ=WU2+UZ2=72+282=49+784=833=717YZ=WZ=\sqrt{WU^2+UZ^2} = \sqrt{7^2+28^2} = \sqrt{49+784} = \sqrt{833}=7\sqrt{17}.
The perimeter of kite WXYZWXYZ is WX+XY+YZ+WZWX + XY + YZ + WZ.
Perimeter =14+14+833+833= 14 + 14 + \sqrt{833} + \sqrt{833}
Perimeter =28+2833= 28 + 2\sqrt{833}
Perimeter =28+2(717)= 28 + 2(7\sqrt{17})
Perimeter =28+1417= 28 + 14\sqrt{17}

3. Final Answer

28+141728 + 14\sqrt{17}
