Question

Find the value of x that makes LOTG a kite

Answer 1

Given:

GL = 4x + 1

LO = 6x - 3

GT = 17

TO = 21

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

By the property of kite:

GL = GT and LO = TO

Take any one pair.

GL = GT

`4x + 1=17`

Subtract 1 from both sides.

`4x + 1-1=17-1`

`4x =16`

Divide by 4 on both sides.

`$(4x)/(4) =(16)/(4)`

`x= 4`

The value of x is 4.
