Answer:
AC=16 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. It was given that diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E.
This implies that:
.
We substitute the expression for x, we get:
.
Group similar terms to get:

AC = 2(12-4x)
AC=2(12-4(1))
AC=2(8)
AC=16
Answer:
A = 57.97 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated as
A =
h (a + b)
where h is the perpendicular height and a, b the parallel bases
Here h = 6.2, a = 10.8 and b = 7.9, thus
A =
× 6.2 × (10.8 + 7.9) = 3.1 × 18.7 = 57.97 cm²
Answer: x = 8, y = 2, coordinates (8,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x = 4y + 8 (divide by 2 to get value of x)
x = 2y + 4
(now substitute x into the second equation to find value of y)
2y + 4 - 2y = 4
2y - 2y = 4 - 4 (divide by 2 to get value of y)
y - y = 2 - 2
y = 2
Now plug in value of "y" to get value of "x".
x - 2(2) = 4
x - 4 = 4
x = 8
Coordinates (8,2)
