let's recall that in a Kite the diagonals meet each other at 90° angles, Check the picture below, so we're looking for the equation of a line that's perpendicular to BD and that passes through (-1 , 3).
keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of BD
so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1/3 and passes through point A
The value of x is 77 cm which will make the triangles similar by SSS similarity theorem
Given length of the three sides of one triangle are 35 , 20 and 20
and length of the three sides of another triangle are x, 44,44
We need to find the values of x by using SSS Similarity theorem
We know that triangles are are similar by side - side - side similarity creation and hence the sides are in the same ratio
As both the triangles are isosceles triangles
Therefore ,
x/35 = 44/20=44/20 (Using ratio)
Solving the equation we get
x=44*35/20
x= 77
Hence the value of x is 77cm
