Find m∠1 and m∠3 in the kite. The diagram is not drawn to scale.
Solution:
Given figure is a kite.
The diagram is not drawn to scale.
We have to find the measure of angle 1 and 3 in the kite.
From the figure,
Kites have two sets of equivalent adjacent sides and one set up of congruent opposite angles.
So, sides AB and AD are equivalent adjacent sides.
m∠1 = 39°
AC and BD are diagonals.
Diagonals of a kite always meet at right angles.
Let the diagonals intersect at point O.
From right triangle AOB,
m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠O = 180°
39° + m∠2 + 90° = 180°
m∠2 = 180° - 90° - 39°
m∠2 = 90° - 39°
m∠2 = 51°
Therefore, m∠1 = 39° and m∠2 = 51°.
Find m∠1 and m∠3 in the kite. The diagram is not drawn to scale.
Summary:
In the kite m∠1 = 39° and m∠2 = 51°.
