Figure ABCD is a kite. Find the
value of x.
BC = 2x - 5
DC = x + 3
x = [?]
Enter

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached figure.

As shown:

ABCD is a kite,

BC = 2x - 5

DC = x + 3

one of the properties of the kite is BC = DC

So, 2x - 5 = x + 3

Solve for x, Combine like terms

∴ 2x - x = 3 + 5

∴ x = 8

So, the value of x is 8.
