Question

Find the values of the variables and the lengths of the sides of this kite.

Answer 1

Plse help ASAP

Answer 2

In a kite, the top two sides are equal to each other and the bottom two sides are also equal to each other. So you cant set

y-4 = x+5 and 2x+5 = x + 12

Answer 3

oops typo. So you *can* set

Answer 4

Solve for x first, since that's the variable present in both equations, and use it to solve for y.

So 2x + 5 = x + 12
2x - x = 12 - 5

(x = 7) <-- plug 7 into x in the first equation (y-4 = x+5)

------------------------------------------------
and you get:
y-4 = 7 + 5 solve for y...
(y = 16)

Answer 5

& now you can find the length of the sides too :)
