Question

CLAY is a rectangle. Its diagonals meet at O. Find x, if OY= 3x+7 and OA= 4x+2​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the given figure ABCD is a rectangle.

⇒  OA=2x+4 and OD=3x+1               [Given]

⇒  AC and BD are diagonals of a rectangle.

⇒  We know that diagonals of a rectangle are equal.

⇒  So, AC = BD

We can also write it as,

⇒  2×OA=2×OD

⇒  2×(2x+4) =2×(3x+1)

⇒  2x+4=3x+1

∴   x=3
