Description

This example demonstrates solving equations involving angle measures in a kite. A kite has two pairs of adjacent congruent angles. In this case, we have angles represented as (x+50)°, (x+50)°, (y+20)°, and y°. To solve this problem, we apply two key principles: the sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360°, and the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°. You can use the triangle equation to solve for y. Once you determine the value for y, you can use that to find x using either the triangle or the quadrilateral equation. In the solution shown, the triangle equation is used.

Description

This example illustrates solving equations involving angle measures in a kite. The kite has two known angles of 70° and 40°, and two unknown angles represented as (x+y)°. To solve this problem, we look at the triangles formed by one of the diagonals of the kite and use the triangle equation. First solve for x with the top triangle. Once you find x, use that value to solve for y in the bottom triangle. You could also use the quadrilateral equation to solve for y.
