The area of a kite:
A = d1 * d2 / 2
d1 = BD = 8 units
48 = 8 * AC / 2
48 * 2 = 8 AC
96 = 8 AC
AC = 96 : 8 = 12
Answer: D ) 12 units
Given:
• AD = 3
,
• DC = 27
,
• BD = x + 3
Let's solve for x.
To solve for x, apply the altitude formula:

Where BD is the altitude.
Cross multiply:

Plug in the values and solve for x:

Take the square root of both sides:

Therefore, the value of x is 6 .
ANSWER:
d. 6
Not necessarily. You could have done your multiplication wrong. Or in some cases, yes, you could have to use another skill. For example, you can't solve an optimization problem with addition, you need some calculus skills under your belt.
