Question

if in a rectangle ABCD AB=14cm BC=(x+y) CD=(x+y) AD =30cm find x and y

Answer 1

mark me as brainliest plzz....

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of x is 22 and the value of y is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that in a rectangle ABCD AB=14 cm BC=(x+y) CD=(x-y) AD =30 cm.

Since the opposite sides of a rectangle are same, therefore

$AB=CD$

$14=x-y$

$x-y=14$                        ..... (1)

$BC=AD$

$x+y=30$                       ..... (2)

Add equation (1) and (2).

$2x=44$

$x=22$

Put x=22 in equation (1).

$22-y=14$

$y=8$

Therefore the value of x is 22 and the value of y is 8.
