    Question


    ABCED is a kite, AB = 5x – 12, AC = 3x – 2 , BE = 4x , CE = 7x -15 , DC = 10 units,
    AB, AC, BE, CE, DC are line segment
    Find CE.

    1. 15
    2. 20
    3. 25
    4. 30

    hintHint:

    In a kite, BE = CE always. With the help of this equation, we can find the value of CE.

    The correct answer is: 20

      Step by step solution:
      BE = CE
      rightwards double arrow4x = 7x – 15
      rightwards double arrow7x – 4x = 15
      rightwards double arrow3x = 15
      rightwards double arrowx = 5
      CE = 7 x 5 - 15
       = 35 – 15
       = 20 units.
      Hence, option(c) is the correct option.
