Answer 1

5√11

Explanation:

Answer 2

Hey there! :D

We will use the properties of similar triangles to figure this out.

We will use two triangles inside the kite, with sides with the value of "x".

Smaller triangle:

Smaller side= 11

Bottom side= x

Bigger triangle:

Smaller side= x

Bottom side= 25


`(11)/(x) = (x)/(25)`

Cross multiply.

25*11= 275

x*x=
`x^(2)`

Find the square root.

√275= 16.583....

Or 5√11.

I hope this helps!
