Question

Given that Segment AD=29, AE=21 and CE=99, find the indicated measures for each question. Find the value of x, y, and perimeter of kite ABCD.

Answer 1

• x = 20, y = 101

Explanation:

Diagonal AC is the perpendicular bisector of DB, therefore:

• DE = EB

Use Pythagorean to find the value of x:

• 
  `x=√(29^2-21^2) =√(400) =20`

Now, find the value of y:

• 
  `y=√(99^2+20^2) =√(10201) =101`
