Question

Given that Segment AD=29, AE=21 and CE=99, find the indicated measures for each question. Find the value of x, y, and perimeter of kite ABCD.

Answer 1

Answer:

• x = 20, y = 101

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagonal AC is the perpendicular bisector of DB, therefore:

• DE = EB

Use Pythagorean to find the value of x:

• $x=\sqrt{29^2-21^2} =\sqrt{400} =20$

Now, find the value of y:

• $y=\sqrt{99^2+20^2} =\sqrt{10201} =101$
