In kite PQRS, SQ ⊥ PR and PO = OR
If PO = 5x – 10 and OR = 4x + 5, Find x, PO and OR.
P
PO = OR
5x – 10 = 4x + 5
S Q
5x – 4x = 5 + 10
x = 15
R
PO = 5x – 10 – substitute the value of x
PO = 5(15) – 10
PO = 75 – 10
PO = 65
OR = 4x + 5
OR = 4(15) + 5
OR = 60 + 5
OR = 65
The area of a kite is half the product of the
lengths of its diagonals.
In kite ABCD, BD ⊥ AC, if AC = 10 and BD = 7
Find the area of kite ABCD

A
Solution

B
Area of a kite = ½[(AC)(BD)]
Area of a kite = ½ [(10)(7)]

D
Area of a kite = ½ [70]
Area of a kite = 35
