Question

Find the value of x using the kite below (work required)

Answer 1

Since the diagonals in a kite intersect creating a right angle, the angles 2x° and (10x - 6)° are complementary angles. So we have:

`\begin{gathered} 2x+(10x-6)=90 \\ 12x-6=90 \\ 12x=96 \\ x=(96)/(12) \\ x=8 \end{gathered}`

So the value of x is 8.
