Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

The diagonals of a rectangle are 2x + 1 and 3x – 1, respectively.

To find :-

Find the value of x?

Solution :-

Given that

The diagonals of a rectangle are 2x + 1 and 3x -1

We know that

The diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other.

=> 2x+1 = 3x-1

=> 1+1 = 3x-2x

=> 2 = x

=> x = 2

Therefore, x = 2

Answer :-

The value of x for the given problem is 2

Used formulae :-
