Answer:
AD = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A kite ABCD with following dimensions:
AD = AB
AO = 3 and
BD = 8
To find:
AD = ?
Solution:
Kindly refer to the attached image for the figure of given dimensions.
In a kite, the following properties hold true:
1. The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular to each other.
2. The longer diagonal(along the vertex angles) bisects the shorter one.
Using above properties:
Looking at the [tex]\triangle AOD:[/tex]
[tex]\angle AOD=90^\circ[/tex]
AO = 3
OD = 4
We know that, Pythagoras theorem hold true in every right angled triangle.
According to Pythagorean theorem:
[tex]\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}[/tex]
[tex]AD^{2} = 4^{2} + 3^{2}\\\Rightarrow AD = \bold{5}[/tex]
The value of AD should be 5.
Since kite ABCD with AD=AB, AO=3, and BD=8
Here angle AOD = 90 degrees
And, AO = 3 and OD = 4
So, here we use the Pythagorean theorem
[tex]= \sqrt 3^2 + 4^2\\\\= \sqrt{9 + 16} \\\\ = \sqrt{25}[/tex]
= 5
Hence, The value of AD should be 5.
