Answer:

kite; P=45–√+413−−√ units; A=32 units2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the length of each side using the Distance Formula.

Find the length of side HA.

HA=(−10−(−6))2+(4−(−2))2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

=(−4)2+(6)2−−−−−−−−−−√

=16+36−−−−−−√

=52−−√=213−−√

Find the length of side AT.

AT=(−6−(−10))2+(6−4)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

=(4)2+(2)2−−−−−−−−−√

=16+4−−−−−√

=20−−√=25–√

Find the length of side TC.

TC=(−2−(−6))2+(4−6)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

=(4)2+(−2)2−−−−−−−−−−√

=16+4−−−−−√

=20−−√=25–√

Find the length of side HC.

HC=(−2−(−6))2+(4−(−2))2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

=(4)2+(6)2−−−−−−−−−√

=16+36−−−−−−√

=52−−√=213−−√

Therefore, HA=HC=213−−√ and AT=TC=25–√.

Since there are two pairs of congruent consecutive sides, HATC is a kite by definition.

Find the perimeter of the kite as the sum of the four sides.

P=213−−√+25–√+25–√+213−−√=45–√+413−−√ units

To find the area of the kite, first find the lengths of the diagonals AC and TH using the Diatance Formula.

The figure shows the same quadrilateral H A T C as in the beginning of the task. Diagonal A C is perpendicular to diagonal T H.

Find the length of diagonal AC.

AC=(−2−(−10))2+(4−4)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

=(8)2+(0)2−−−−−−−−−√

=64−−√=8

Find the legth of diagonal TH.

TH=(−6−(−6))2+(−2−6)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

=(0)2+(−8)2−−−−−−−−−−√

=64−−√=8

Find the area of the kite using the formula for the area of a kite, A=12d1d2.

Substitute 8 for d1 and 8 for d2.

A=12(8)(8)=32 units2

Therefore, the perimeter of the kite is 45–√+413−−√ units and the area is 32 units2.
