The diagonals of a rectangle are 5x + 1 and 9x – 7, respectively. Find the value of x.
Answers
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

SOLUTION
GIVEN
The diagonals of a rectangle are 5x + 1 and 9x – 7, respectively.
TO DETERMINE
The value of x
EVALUATION
Here it is given that the diagonals of a rectangle are 5x + 1 and 9x – 7, respectively.
We know that diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other
So by the given condition
5x + 1 = 9x - 7
⇒ 5x - 9x = - 7 - 1
⇒ - 4x = - 8
⇒ x = 2
FINAL ANSWER
Hence the required value of x = 2
