Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Quadrilaterals - Properties of Kites Notes and Assignment
▼
Let's solve each problem step by step based on the image you provided. The problems involve kites (a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides equal), and we need to find:

1. Measures of numbered angles in kites.
2. Values of variables using properties of kites.

---

🔷 Key Properties of a Kite:


- Two pairs of adjacent sides are equal.
- One diagonal is a line of symmetry (bisects the other diagonal at right angles).
- The diagonals intersect at 90°.
- The angles between unequal sides are equal.
- The diagonal that connects the vertex angles (the ones between equal sides) bisects the angles.
- The other diagonal is perpendicular to this one and is bisected by it.

---

## ✔ Examples 1–3: Find the measure of the numbered angles in each kite

---

Example 1:



Given:
- ∠1 = 90°
- ∠2 = 90° – 22 = 68°

But wait — let’s analyze carefully.

We see:
- Triangle ABD is split into two right triangles by diagonal BD.
- Diagonals intersect at right angles → so ∠ABD = 90°
- But ∠1 is labeled as 90°, which is likely the angle at the intersection point (where diagonals meet). So ∠1 = 90° (standard for kite diagonals).

Then:
- In triangle ABC or ABD, we have an angle of 22°.
- Since diagonals are perpendicular, and one angle is 22°, then ∠2 = 90° – 22° = 68°

✔ So:
- ∠1 = 90°
- ∠2 = 68°

> ✔️ Answer:
> ∠1 = 90°, ∠2 = 68°

---

Example 2:



Given:
- ∠3 = 100°
- ∠4 = ?

We know:
- In a kite, the diagonal connecting the vertex angles (the ones between equal sides) bisects the angles.
- Also, the sum of angles in any quadrilateral is 360°.

From diagram:
- There is a vertical diagonal splitting the kite into two congruent triangles.
- ∠3 = 100° is the top angle.
- This angle is bisected by the diagonal → so each half is 50°.
- The diagonals intersect at 90°, so the bottom angle is split into two parts.

Let’s label:
- Let’s assume the kite has vertices A, B, C, D.
- Diagonal AC is the axis of symmetry.
- ∠BAC = ∠CAD = 50°
- Diagonals intersect at E → ∠AEB = 90°

Now, look at triangle AEB:
- ∠EAB = 50°
- ∠AEB = 90°
- So ∠ABE = 180° – 50° – 90° = 40°

So ∠4 = 40°

But wait — the box says:
> ∠3 = 100° → ∠4 = (180° – 100°)/2 = 40°

Yes! That matches.

So ∠4 = 40°

> ✔️ Answer:
> ∠3 = 100°, ∠4 = 40°

---

Example 3:



Given:
- ∠5 = 90°
- ∠6 = 64° + 20° = 84°?

Wait — let's interpret.

From the diagram:
- Diagonals intersect at 90° → so ∠5 = 90° (angle between diagonals)
- Then, ∠6 is one of the base angles.
- We're told: ∠6 = 64° + 20° = 84°? That seems odd.

Wait — perhaps it's showing a triangle where one angle is 64°, and another is 20°?

Looking at the diagram: there's a triangle formed with angles marked.

Let’s suppose:
- In triangle formed by the diagonal and side, we have angles 64° and 20°?
- But sum of angles in triangle is 180°.

Wait — maybe ∠6 is calculated from a triangle.

Actually, the box says:
> ∠5 = 90°
> ∠6 = 64° + 20° = 84°

That doesn't make sense unless it's saying something else.

Wait — perhaps ∠6 is part of a triangle where one angle is 64°, and another is 20°, but that would be inconsistent.

Alternatively, maybe the kite has a triangle with angles 64° and 20°, and we’re finding ∠6.

But more likely, the expression is misread.

Let me re-express:

Possibility: In a triangle, one angle is 64°, and the other is 20°, so third angle is 96°, but not helpful.

Wait — perhaps it's saying that ∠6 is equal to 64° + 20°?

No — that would be 84°, but why?

Wait — perhaps the diagram shows that one angle is split into 64° and 20°, so total ∠6 = 84°?

Ah! That makes sense.

So if ∠6 is composed of two parts: 64° and 20°, then ∠6 = 84°.

And ∠5 = 90°, which is the right angle at the intersection.

So yes:

> ∠5 = 90°
> ∠6 = 64° + 20° = 84°

✔️ Answer:
∠5 = 90°, ∠6 = 84°

## ✔ Examples 4–6: Find the value of the variable in each kite

Use properties of kites:
- Diagonals are perpendicular → form right angles.
- One diagonal is bisected by the other.
- Angles between unequal sides are equal.
- Use algebra and angle sums.

Example 4:



Given:
- x + 2x = 90° (because diagonals intersect at 90°, forming right triangles)
- So: 3x = 90 → x = 30

Then:
- x = 30
- 2x = 60
- y = 60 (since opposite angles or corresponding angles?)
- But also given: 3x = 90 → x = 30 → y = 60

Wait — the box says:
> x + 2x = 90 → 3x = 90 → x = 30
> 3x = 90 → x = 30
> y = 60
> z = 30

So likely:
- In triangle, angles are x, 2x, and 90°
- So x + 2x = 90 → x = 30
- Then 3x = 90 → confirms x = 30
- y = 2x = 60°
- z = x = 30°

✔️ Answer:
- x = 30
- y = 60
- z = 30

---

Example 5:



Given:
- 3x + 5 = 4x - 30

Solve:
3x + 5 = 4x - 30
→ 5 + 30 = 4x - 3x
→ 35 = x

So x = 35

Then check:
- Left: 3(35) + 5 = 105 + 5 = 110
- Right: 4(35) - 30 = 140 - 30 = 110 → matches

Also given: ∠7 = 110° → that’s consistent.

Then:
- 3x + 5 = 110 → correct
- 4x - 30 = 110 → correct

So x = 35

✔️ Answer: x = 35

---

Example 6:



Two equations:
1. 2(3x + 12) = 3x + 66
2. 2y - 22 = 4y + 16

Let’s solve both.

#### Equation 1:
2(3x + 12) = 3x + 66
→ 6x + 24 = 3x + 66
→ 6x - 3x = 66 - 24
→ 3x = 42
→ x = 14

Check:
Left: 2(3×14 + 12) = 2(42 + 12) = 2(54) = 108
Right: 3×14 + 66 = 42 + 66 = 108 → OK

#### Equation 2:
2y - 22 = 4y + 16
→ -22 - 16 = 4y - 2y
→ -38 = 2y
→ y = -19

But negative angle? Unlikely.

Wait — perhaps signs are wrong.

Let’s double-check:
2y - 22 = 4y + 16
Subtract 2y: -22 = 2y + 16
Subtract 16: -38 = 2y
→ y = -19 → invalid

But maybe the equation is:
2y - 22 = 4y + 16 → no solution? Or typo?

Wait — perhaps the diagram shows angles that must be equal?

Wait — the box says:
> 2y - 22 = 4y + 16
> → y = -19

But negative angle doesn’t make sense.

Wait — perhaps the equation was meant to be:
2y - 22 = 4y - 16? Or different sign?

But as written:
2y - 22 = 4y + 16
→ -22 - 16 = 4y - 2y → -38 = 2y → y = -19

Invalid.

But maybe it’s a trick?

Wait — could it be that the angles are supplementary?

But the problem says "find the value of the variable".

Perhaps the kite has angles set up such that:
- One angle is 2y - 22
- Another is 4y + 16
- And they are equal? Or supplementary?

In a kite, non-vertex angles are equal.

But if they are equal:
2y - 22 = 4y + 16 → same as above → y = -19 → invalid.

If they are supplementary:
(2y - 22) + (4y + 16) = 180
→ 6y - 6 = 180
→ 6y = 186
→ y = 31

Then:
- 2y - 22 = 62 - 22 = 40°
- 4y + 16 = 124 + 16 = 140° → sum = 180 → possible

But in the box, it says:
> 2y - 22 = 4y + 16 → y = -19

That can't be right.

Wait — perhaps the equation is:
2y - 22 = 4y - 16?

Try:
2y - 22 = 4y - 16
→ -22 + 16 = 4y - 2y
→ -6 = 2y → y = -3 → still bad

Or:
2y - 22 = 16 - 4y
→ 2y + 4y = 16 + 22
→ 6y = 38 → y ≈ 6.33 → maybe

But the box says: 2y - 22 = 4y + 16 → y = -19

So either:
- The problem has a typo, or
- The angles are not equal or supplementary, but in a triangle?

Wait — perhaps it's a triangle with angles:
- One angle: 2y - 22
- Another: 4y + 16
- Third: ?

But no third angle given.

Alternatively, maybe the two expressions represent equal angles, but due to labeling error?

Wait — looking back: the box says:
> 2y - 22 = 4y + 16
> → y = -19

But that’s mathematically correct — just leads to negative angle.

But since it’s written, maybe accept it?

But geometrically, angles can’t be negative.

So likely, there is a typo in the problem.

But assuming the equation is as written, we solve it:

2y - 22 = 4y + 16
→ -22 - 16 = 4y - 2y
→ -38 = 2y
→ y = -19

So even though it's invalid, the algebra gives y = -19

But in context, probably a typo.

Wait — perhaps the equation is:
2y - 22 = 4y - 16?

Then:
2y - 22 = 4y - 16
→ -22 + 16 = 4y - 2y
→ -6 = 2y → y = -3 → still bad

Or:
2y - 22 = 16 - 4y
→ 2y + 4y = 16 + 22
→ 6y = 38 → y = 38/6 = 6.333...

Still not nice.

Alternatively, maybe:
2y - 22 = 4y + 16 → but it should be supplementary?

Let’s assume they are supplementary:
(2y - 22) + (4y + 16) = 180
6y - 6 = 180
6y = 186
y = 31

Then:
- 2y - 22 = 62 - 22 = 40°
- 4y + 16 = 124 + 16 = 140° → sum = 180 → valid

And 40° and 140° are possible angles in a kite.

But the problem says: 2y - 22 = 4y + 16 → which implies equality, not supplement.

But if the kite has two angles that are equal, then:
2y - 22 = 4y + 16 → y = -19 → invalid

So unless the diagram shows otherwise, likely typo.

But since the problem states that equation, we must go with it.

So:
> 2y - 22 = 4y + 16
> → y = -19

Even though it’s geometrically impossible, the algebraic solution is y = -19

But wait — maybe the equation is:
2y - 22 = 4y - 16 → still bad

Or:
2y + 22 = 4y + 16 → then 22 - 16 = 4y - 2y → 6 = 2y → y = 3

Then:
2(3) + 22 = 6 + 22 = 28
4(3) + 16 = 12 + 16 = 28 → equal

So maybe it's +22, not -22?

But as written: 2y - 22 = 4y + 16

So unless the diagram has angles labeled differently, we have to accept y = -19.

But in real-world geometry, angles can’t be negative.

Therefore, most likely a typo.

But since the problem presents it as is, we’ll write:

> y = -19

But note: This is likely incorrect due to a sign error in the problem.
