Question

In the given figure, AC and BD are the diagonals of

kite ABCD with AB = AD while AG and ME are the

diagonals of rectangle AEGM. If AD = DG and BG

is a line segment, then x – y equals
a. 21
b. 48
c. 42
d. 68

Answer 1

b) 48 degree is the right answer

Answer 2

We know that ABCD is a kite

So, AB=AD and BC=CD.

And EFGH are mid points of AB ,BC,CD,AD

Now in order to prove that  EFGH is a rectangle

We will first of all construct this:

join AC and BD.

In ΔABD  the E and F are mid points.

so we can write this as:

EF ║BD

EF = 1/2 BD    (this will be an equation 1) (here will be using the mid point theorem)

In Δ BCD

G and H are mid points.

Which means GH║ BD

GH=1/2 BD  (this will be an equation 2)

From the equation (1) and (2)

We can easily see that

EF║ GH

and

EF = GH ( these are the opposite sides of quadrilateral

EFGH is a parallelogram)

We know that  ABCD is a kite so the diagonal intersect at 90.

So ∠AOd= 90

90 is the final answer for this question.
