Q. Quadrilateral DEFG is a kite. What is m∠G ?m∠G=
Kite Properties: Kites have two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal, and one pair of opposite angles that are equal, which are the angles between the unequal sides.
Angle Notation: Let's call the angles at the vertices with the equal sides angle A and angle B. The other two angles at the vertices with the unequal sides are both angle G.
Angle Sum Property: Since DEFG is a kite, m/A+m/B+2×m/G=360∘ because the sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is 360 degrees.
Equation Simplification: If m/A=m/B (which they have to be in a kite), then we can say 2×m/A+2×m/G=360∘.
Finding Angle Measure: Divide both sides by 2 to simplify: m/∠A+m/∠G=180∘.
Finding Angle Measure: Divide both sides by 2 to simplify: m/A+m/G=180∘.But we need more information to find the exact measure of m/G, like the measure of m/A or m/B. Without this, we can't find m/G.
