kite EFGH is graphed on the coordinate plane. three of its verticies are E(1,6), F(3,5), and G(4,-3). what are the coordinates of the fourth vertex, H?

Respuesta :

The coordinates of the fourth vertex, H is; (-6.056, 7.302)

How to find the Coordinates of a Kite?

A kite has 4 sides and we know that a pair of diagonally opposite angles of a kite are said to be congruent.

We are given the coordinates of its' vertices as;

E(1,6), F(3,5), and G(4,-3).

The two diagonals are perpendicular;

Slope of EG = (-3 - 6)/(4 - 1)

Slope of EG = -9/5

Equation of line passing through G is;

y = mx + c

-3 = -9/5(4) + c

-15 = -36 + 15c

c = 51/15 = 17/5

y = (-9/5)x + 17/5    ------(1)

Equation of line passing through F is;

y = mx + c

6 = (5/9)(1) + c

54 = -9 + 9c

c = 7

y = (5/9)x + 7   -----(2)

Solving eq 1 and eq 2 simultaneously gives;

x = -1.528 and y = 6.151

If (a, b) are coordinates of vertex H, then;

(a + 3)/2 = -1.528 and (b + 5)/2 = 6.151

Thus;

a = -6.056 and b = 7.302
