Example Question #1 : How To Find An Angle In A Kite

Kite vt act

Using the kite shown above, find the sum of the two remaining congruent interior angles.

Possible Answers:

$295$^{\circ}$$ $\displaystyle 295$^{\circ}$$

$300$^{\circ}$$ $\displaystyle 300$^{\circ}$$

$75$^{\circ}$$ $\displaystyle 75$^{\circ}$$

$300.5$^{\circ}$$ $\displaystyle 300.5$^{\circ}$$

$147.5$^{\circ}$$ $\displaystyle 147.5$^{\circ}$$

Correct answer:

$295$^{\circ}$$ $\displaystyle 295$^{\circ}$$

Explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of any polygon can be found by applying the formula:

$\displaystyle 180 (n-2)$ degrees, where $\displaystyle n$ is the number of sides in the polygon.

By definition, a kite is a polygon with four total sides (quadrilateral). The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral must equal: $\displaystyle 180(4-2)$ degrees =180(2) $\displaystyle =180(2)$ degrees =360 $\displaystyle =360$ degrees. Additionally, kites must have two sets of equivalent adjacent sides & one set of congruent opposite angles.

To find the sum of the remaining two angles, determine the difference between 360 $\displaystyle 360$ degrees and the sum of the non-congruent opposite angles.

The solution is:

$\displaystyle 40+25=65$

$\displaystyle 360-65=295$ degrees

Thus, 295 $\displaystyle 295$ degrees is the sum of the remaining two opposite angles.

Check:

$\displaystyle 295+65=360$

Example Question #1 : How To Find An Angle In A Kite

A kite has one set of opposite interior angles where the two angles measure $28$^{\circ}$$ $\displaystyle 28$^{\circ}$$ and $84$^{\circ}$$ $\displaystyle 84$^{\circ}$$ , respectively. Find the measurement for one of the two remaining interior angles in this kite.

Possible Answers:

$112$^{\circ}$$ $\displaystyle 112$^{\circ}$$

$248$^{\circ}$$ $\displaystyle 248$^{\circ}$$

$124$^{\circ}$$ $\displaystyle 124$^{\circ}$$

$84^2$^{\circ}$$ $\displaystyle 84^2$^{\circ}$$

Not enough information is provided

Correct answer:

$124$^{\circ}$$ $\displaystyle 124$^{\circ}$$

Explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of any polygon can be found by applying the formula:

$\displaystyle 180 (n-2)$ degrees, where $\displaystyle n$ is the number of sides in the polygon.

By definition, a kite is a polygon with four total sides (quadrilateral). The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral must equal: $\displaystyle 180(4-2)$ degrees =180(2) $\displaystyle =180(2)$ degrees =360 $\displaystyle =360$ degrees. Additionally, kites must have two sets of equivalent adjacent sides & one set of congruent opposite angles.

The missing angle can be found by finding the sum of the non-congruent opposite angles. Then divide the difference between 360 $\displaystyle 360$ degrees and the non-congruent opposite angles sum by $\displaystyle 2$ :

$\displaystyle 28+84=112$

$\displaystyle 360-112=248$

This means that 248 $\displaystyle 248$ is the sum of the remaining two angles, which must be opposite congruent angles. Therefore, the measurement for one of the angles is:

$\frac{248}{2}=124$ $\displaystyle \frac{248}{2}=124$

The missing angle can be found by finding the sum of the non-congruent opposite angles. Then divide the difference between 360 $\displaystyle 360$ degrees and the non-congruent opposite angles sum by $\displaystyle 2$ :

$\displaystyle 118+51=169$

$\displaystyle 360-169=191$

This means that 191 $\displaystyle 191$ is the sum of the remaining two angles, which must be opposite congruent angles. Therefore, the measurement for one of the angles is:

$\displaystyle 91+99=190$

$\displaystyle 360-190=170$

This means that 170 $\displaystyle 170$ is the sum of the remaining two angles, which must be opposite congruent angles. Therefore, the measurement for one of the angles is:
