Can someone please...please help with three questions? http://gyazo.com/78c1927012defc176f41d5e4dfb8384b http://gyazo.com/30283d7b4d98852d0c476ea8688854a6 http://gyazo.com/52115cace11b39a54b0ce0dd6ffe190f

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

1. The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oooh..alright..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But like, I don't know what to do. ;;

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: because we have a kite, we can say triangle ADC = triangle ABC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

..Uhm...I don't know how that will help, honestly..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm extremely bad at math.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

break up the kite into these two triangles |dw:1368509005190:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, so we have two triangles that are identical?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

these two angles are congruent (by CPCTC) |dw:1368509075439:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alrighty..

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now focus on the upper left triangle |dw:1368509115962:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

these two angles are complementary |dw:1368509140025:dw| so they add to 90 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, I think I get that..

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok great

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'll do one more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, thanks..

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
