Kite FGHK is shown. What is the value of m?

finding the value of m in the given kite with the sides 5m +1 and 3m+7

Solution:

Given a kite, we know its shape is a rhombus. 

We know that the two pairs of adjacent sides of a kite are equal.

GH = HK

5m + 1 = 3m + 7

5m - 3m = 7 - 1

2m = 6

m = 2

Therefore, the value of m is 2.

Kite FGHK is shown. What is the value of m?

Summary:

Kite FGHK is shown, the value of m is 2.
