Label the points of the kite A, B, C, and D so that AB and AD are the short sides and b measures the angle ABC. Naming things helps you think. Construct BD. Let x and y measure ∠CBD and ∠ABD respectively.Let z measure ∠BCD.\text {Let } x \text { and } y \text { measure } \angle \text {CBD and } \angle \text {ABD respectively.}\\ \text {Let } z \text { measure } \angle \text {BCD.}Let x and y measure ∠CBD and ∠ABD respectively.Let z measure ∠BCD. Naming things helps you think. Now, what kind of triangle is △ABD\triangle ABD△ABD? What kind of triangle is △BCD\triangle BCD△BCD?
