Question 115783 • EAP-Geometry B CR

Which statement proves that quadrilateral HIJK is a kite?

Answer
A
HI ⊥ IJ, and m∠H = m∠J.
B
IH = IJ = 3 and JK = HK = , and IH ≠ JK and IJ ≠ HK.
C
IK intersects HJ at the midpoint of HJ at (−1.5, 2.5).
D
The slope of HK = and the slope of JK = .

Explanation

A kite has two distinct pairs of equal adjacent sides. In B, HI = IJ, and JK = HK, so each pair consists of sides that meet at a vertex. The additional inequalities rule out the sides in one pair also being equal to the sides in the other pair, confirming the kite condition.
