Step One

Find CE

There are 4 right angles at E. Use one to get the right angle containing CE as one of the sides.


a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 7

b = ?

c = sqrt(130)

7^2 + b^2 = (sqrt(130)^2

49 + b^2 = 130

b^2 = 130 - 49

b^2 = 81

b = sqrt(81)

b = 9

CE = 9

Step 2

Find AC

AE = 24

CE = 9

AC = AE + CE

AC = 24 + 9

AC = 33 <<<<< answer


Step 3

Find DE

The smaller of two diagonals in a kite is cut in half. So DE = BE.

Since BE is labeled as 7,

DE = 7 <<<< Answer


Step Four

Find DA

DE = 7

AE = 24

DA = ?


a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a= 7

b = 24

c = ??

7^2 + 24^2 = c^2

49 + 576 = c^2

625 = c^2

c = 25


AD = 25 <<<< Answer
