Find the values of x and y in the following kite.

Solution:

Given, the figure represents a kite.

We have to find the values of x and y.

We know that one pair of opposite angles of a kite are equal.

So, y = 110°

We know that the sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral is equal to 360 degrees.

So, x + 110° + 60° + y = 360°

x + 110° + 60° + 110° = 360°

x + 220° + 60° = 360°

x + 280° = 360°

x = 360° - 280°

x = 80 °

Therefore, the values of x and y are 80° and 110°.
