The value of x is 4.

Given that diagonals of a rectangle measure x+5 feet and 2x+1 feet as shown in the attached figure.

The diagonal of a rectangle is a line or straight line that connects the opposite corners or vertices of the rectangle.

In the given figure ABCD is a rectangle.

OA=2x+1 and OD=x+5             [Given]

AC and BD are diagonals of a rectangle.

As we know that the diagonals of a rectangle are always equal.

So, AC = BD

We can also write it as,

2×OA=2×OD

2×(2x+1) =2×(x+5)

Apply the distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac, we get

4x+2=2x+10

Subtract 2x from both sides, we get

4x+2-2x=2x+10-2x

2x+2=10

Subtract 2 from both sides, we get

2x+2-2=10-2

2x=8

Divide both sides by 2, we get

2x/x=8/2

x=4

Hence, the value of x=4 when diagonals of a rectangle measure x+5 feet and 2x+1 feet.

FromTheMoon [43]
Answer: The answer that is not true is choice D.

If Katie drew those chords and those line segments to form a square, then the diagonals would have to be congruent. The only way to have them would be through the center, therefore they must be diameters.

And if it is a square, then the diagonals are perpendicular bisectors meaning the angles would be right angles not acute or obtuse as in Choice D. <span />
