Question

WXYZ is a kite. Solve for x and y. ANSWERS: A) x = 12; y = 2 B) x = 13; y = 10 C) x = 13; y = 1∕2 D) x = 12; y = 5

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Kite has consecutive sides that are equal in length. The two sets of adjacent sides are congruent.

`x=13`

`10y=5`

`10y/10=5/10`

`y=1/2`

Answer 2

x = 13

y =1 /2

Explanation:

Since this is a KITE, So Adjacent sides of it would be equal

Such that

1) WZ = WX

=> x = 13

Also, Side HX and HZ are bisected

2) HX = HZ

=> 10y = 5

Dividing both sides by 10

=> y = 5/10

=> y = 1/2
