Answer:

$5x - 6 = 3x + 4 \\ 5x - 3x = 4 + 6 \\ 2x = 10 \\ x = 10 \div2 \\ x = 5 \\ length \: of \: xy = 3 \times 5 + 4 \\ = 15 + 4 \\ = 19$

Answer: 19

Step-by-step explanation:

From the properties of the kite, we know that line segment XY is congruent to line segment ZY. Keep in mind, the variable we need to solve for this question is x!

From this, we can say that;

3x+4=5x-6

Plus 6 on both sides to get

3x+10=5x

Minus 3x on both sides to get

10=2x

divide both sides by 2 to get

5=x

now plug the x value 5, into the equation XY

3 times 5 + 4

multiplication goes first!

15+4=19

Step-by-step explanation:

4. To use SSS, you need three pairs of congruent sides. You're given two pairs of congruent sides, so the additional information needed is WY ≅ KM.

5. To use ASA, you need a pair of congruent sides between two pairs of congruent angles. You're given one pair of congruent angles, and since the triangles share a common side, we know BC ≅ BC. So the additional information needed is ∠WBC ≅ ∠ACB.

6. To use SAS, you need a pair of congruent angles between two pairs of congruent sides. You're given two pairs of congruent sides, so the additional information needed is ∠I ≅ ∠F.

Step-by-step explanation:

Either solve the equations directly, or graph them and look for the point of intersection.
