If ABCD is a kite, then by definition it has two pairs of congruent sides.

Let point C has coordinates (a,b).

Then

  • AB=\sqrt{(-1-0)^2+(5-6)^2}=\sqrt{1+1}=\sqrt{2};
  • BC=\sqrt{(a-0)^2+(b-6)^2};
  • CD=\sqrt{(a-0)^2+(b-2)^2};
  • AD=\sqrt{(-1-0)^2+(5-2)^2}=\sqrt{1+9}=\sqrt{10}.

Solve the system of equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}\sqrt{(a-0)^2+(b-6)^2}=\sqrt{2}\\\sqrt{(a-0)^2+(b-2)^2}=\sqrt{10}\end{array}\right.

Square these two equations and then subtract:

(b-6)^2-(b-2)^2=2-10,\\ \\b^2-12b+36-b^2+4b-4=-8,\\ \\-8b=-8-32,\\ \\-8b=-40,\\ \\b=5.

Substitute b=5 into the first equation:

\sqrt{a^2+(5-6)^2}=\sqrt{2},\\ \\a^2=2-1,\\ \\a^2=1,\\ \\a=1 \text{ or } a=-1.

You get two points (1,5) and (-1,5). Point (-1,5) coincides with point A, so C(1,5).

Answer: correct choice is B.

<span>B) (1, 5) is your best answer

B (0,6) creates the top of the kite
D (0,2) creates the bottom
A (-1,5) creates the left side of the kite
D (1,5) creates the right side (only the x is flipped, because has congruent sides of both the top, and both the bottom.
