Answer to Problem 21PSB

  KIKE

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The quadrilateral KITE is a kite.

The lengths of sides,

  KI=2x+30IT=20+3xTE=(not given)EK=62x

Formula used:

Pair of adjacent sides of a Kite are equal in length.

Calculation:

Case I:Suppose let KI=IT

  2x+30=20+3x3020=3x2xx=10

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 5.5, Problem 21PSB , additional homework tip  1

On substituting x=10 in all the given lengths of sides.

  KI=2x+30=2(10)+30=20+30=50IT=20+3x=20+3(10)=20+30=50EK=62x=62(10)=620=14

Note that length of side cannot be negative.

Hence, KIIT

Case II: Suppose let KI=KE

  2x+30=62x2x+2x=6304x=24x=6

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 5.5, Problem 21PSB , additional homework tip  2

On substituting x=6 in all the given lengths of sides.

  KI=2x+30=2(6)+30=12+30=18IT=20+3x=20+3(6)=2018=2EK=62x=62(2)=6+4=10

Observe that all the lengths of sides are positive.

Hence KI=KE is true and then IT=TE
