Question

PLEASE HELP AGAIN. U,U
Quadrilateral ABCD is a kite. if AD = AB, Find BC.
(the answers given)
7
17
25
10

Answer 1

i dont have the numbers to AD OR AB so heres where im stuck..

Answer 2

What do you know about the lengths of the sides of a kite?

Answer 3

just whats on the picture i drew. everything else isnt given.

Answer 4

i dont know how im supposed to get either of those letters

Answer 5

Ok, I understand that. I don't mean this kite. I mean what do you know about kites in general. What is the definition of a kite?

Answer 6

a diformed square? lol. i havent had a kite in years..

Answer 7

4 sides?

Answer 8

in this diagram, if it is a kite, then, AB=AD and DC=BC.
hence, 3x-4=2x+3=>x=7.

Answer 9

ohh

Answer 10

Ok. A kite does have 4 sides. It's a quadrilateral, but it's a special quadrilateral that has two sides congruent and the other two sides congruent. All 4 sides are not congruent. It has two pairs of congruent sides.

Answer 11

so its 7 right?

Answer 12

both sides are congruent to each other. so there different equations?

Answer 13

making it 3x-4=2x+3=

Answer 14

my calculator says 7.

Answer 15

Here you are told that AD = AB to let you know that pair of sides is congruent.
Then you can conclude that CD and CB are also congruent.

Answer 16

2x + 3 = 3x - 4
Subtract 3x from both sides:
-x + 3 = -4
Subtract 3 from both sides:
-x = -7
Divide both sides by -1
x = 7

Answer 17

x = 7 is still not the final answer.
BC = 3x - 4, so now you replace x with 7 to get BC
