Question

8) In square HOPE, mH = 5x. Find the value of x.A. 10B. 18C. 70D. 15

Answer 1

ANSWER

$B.\text{ }18$

EXPLANATION

Let us make a sketch of the square:

Each angle in a square is equal to 90 degrees. This implies that:

$5x=90$

Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{5x}{5}=\frac{90}{5} \\ \\ x=18 \end{gathered}$

The answer is option B.
