I'm assuming that the diagonals intersect at E. Since diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, BE=ED.

7x-2=x²-10
x²-7x-8=0
(x-8)(x+1)=0
x = -1, 8

As distance must be positive, we reject the negative case, so x=8.

Thus, BE=ED=54.

Answer:

27.3

Step-by-step explanation:

y=a(1/2)^t/h

Plug in

22=30(1/2)^t/61

Divide both sides by 30

0.7333333333=(1/2)^t/61

Log both

Log(0.7333333333) / Log(1/2)

0.447458977 = t/61

0.447458977 x 61 = t

27.2949976 to the nearest tenth is 27.3 = t
