A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent, congruent sides. The vertex angles are those angles in between the pairs o

f 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..

To verify whether the diagonals are perpendicular to each other, we find the slope of each segment and we can see that the slopes should be opposite reciprocals of each other.This means, these segments are really perpendicular. This theorem can be verified through congruent angles present in the quadrilateral.

Algebra is number 3 - You have subtracted the measure of angle HKI from the equation.

Transitive property of equality is number 2 - Because both pairs of angles equal 180 degrees, you can set them equal to each other.

Definition of congruence is number 4 - The congruence symbol is in the equation, which tells you that the two angles are congruent.

Angles forming a linear pair sum to 180 degrees is number 1 - 180 degrees is in the equations given and the angles all form linear pairs.

Hope this helps!! :)

Solve the equation. 5x + 8 − 3x = −10 x = −9 x = −1 x = 1 x = 9
vitfil [10]

Answer:

x=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+8-3x=-10

Simplify to get 2x+8=-10

Find what 2x equals to by taking away 8, 2x = -18.

Divide by 2 to find x, x = -9

How do you solve the system of the linear equation by substitution?<br> y=x-4<br> 4x-y=3
Bingel [31]

Answer:

x=-1/3, y=-13/3. (-1/3, -13/3).

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x-4

4x-y=3

------------

4x-(x-4)=3

4x-x+4=3

3x+4=3

3x=3-4

3x=-1

x=-1/3

y=-1/3-4

y=-1/3-12/3=-13/3

The area of a square can be tripled by increasing the length and width by 10 inches. What is the original length of the square?
trapecia [35]
The new square has length: 10 + l, where l is the original length of the square, and it's area is (10 + l)^2;
So, we solve the equation: 3 x l^2 = (10 + l)^2;
Then, 3 x l^2 = 100 + 20 x l + l^2;
Finally, 2xl^2 - 20xl - 100 = 0;  / ÷2;
l^2 - 10l - 50 = 0 (we use the quadratic equation formula);
The only positive solution is l = 5(1+ \sqrt{3} );
