A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent, congruent sides. The vertex angles are those angles in between the pairs of congruent sides. Prove the diagonal connecting these vertex angles is perpendicular to the diagonal connecting the non-vertex angles. Be sure to create and name the appropriate geometric figures. This figure does not need to be submitted.

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

let me tihnk

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

i have no idea

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

there is not enuoght information for me

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

Yes?

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

I'm just not so sure what to write :/

OpenStudy (perl):

first identify the vertex angles

OpenStudy (perl):

The vertex angles are between two congruent sides. Therefore the vertex angles are A, C The non vertex angles are the other two angles, B, D We want to show that the diagonal AC connecting the two vertex angles is perpendicular to diagonal BD.

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

Oh, I see

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

The middle has a right angle...

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

Wait, what should I write so far?

OpenStudy (perl):

we have to prove that :)
