Question

In trapezium ABCD, AB || DC.Diagonals AC and BD intersects each other in point O. IfOA - 2x + 7, OB 4x, OD = and OC 2x+4, then find 'x'. 4x-4​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN:

OA= 3x-1 , OC= 5x-3, OD= 6x-5 , BO = 2x+1

AO/OC = BO/OD

[The diagonals of a Trapezium divide each other proportionally]

(3x-1)/(5x-3) =( 2x+1)/(6x-5)

(3x-1) (6x-5) = (5x-3) ( 2x+1)

3x(6x-5) -1 (6x-5) = 2x(5x-3)+1(5x-3)

18x² -15x -6x +5 = 10x² -6x +5x -3

18x² -21x +5 = 10x² - x -3

18x² -10x² -21x + x +5+3 =0

8x² - 20x +8= 0

4(2x² -5x +2) = 0

2x² -5x +2 = 0

2x² -4x -x +2= 0

[By factorization]

2x(x-2) -1(x-2)= 0

(2x-1) (x-2) = 0

(2x-1) = 0 or (x-2) = 0

x = ½  or x = 2

If we put x= ½ in OD , The value of OD is negative.

Hence, the value of  is x = 2
