Find X And Y Show All The Work class=

Sagot :

Given:

A geometric figure.

To find:

The values of x and y.

Solution:

The given figure is a kite because it has two disjoint pairs of consecutive congruent sides.

Kite has one pair of congruent opposite angles. The angled included between non-congruent sides are congruent.

[tex](4x+13)^\circ=(5x-15)^\circ[/tex]

[tex]4x+13=5x-15[/tex]

[tex]13+15=5x-4x[/tex]

[tex]28=x[/tex]

The diagonal bisects the other pair of opposite angles.

The missing angle of the above triangle is [tex]y^\circ[/tex].

Using angle sum property, we  get

[tex](y-9)^\circ+y^\circ+(4x+13)^\circ=180^\circ[/tex]

[tex](2y-9)^\circ+(4(28)+13)^\circ=180^\circ[/tex]

[tex](2y-9)^\circ+(125)^\circ=180^\circ[/tex]

[tex](2y-9)^\circ=180^\circ-125^\circ[/tex]

On further simplification, we get

[tex](2y-9)^\circ=55^\circ[/tex]

[tex]2y-9=55[/tex]

[tex]2y=55+9[/tex]

[tex]2y=64[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]y=32[/tex]

Therefore, the value of x is 28 and the value of y is 32.
