Answer:

The length of AC is either 10 units or 40 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that parallelogram ABCD and diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E.

According to the property of parallelogram, the diagonals are intersecting each other at their midpoint.

AE=CE

2x^2-3x=x^2+4

2x^2-3x-x^2-4=0

x^2-3x-4=0

x^2-4x+x-4=0

x(x-4)+1(x-4)=0

(x-4)(x+1)=0

By zero product property, equate each factor equal to 0. So the value of x is 4 and -1.

AC=2CE

AC=2(x^2+4)

Let he value of x=4.

AC=2(4^2+4)

AC=2(20)

AC=40

Therefore the length of AC is 40.

Let he value of x=-1.

AC=2((-1)^2+4)

AC=2(5)

AC=10

Therefore the length of AC is 10.

If the diagonals of the parallelogram intersect with each other, this means that the diagonals bisect each other. Thus,

    AE = CE

Substituting the equations,

  2x² - 3x = x² + 4

The values of x from the equation are equal to 4 and -1. 

  AE = 2(4)² - 3(4) = 20

Hence, AC is equal to 40. 

Answer: 40 units

Three moons are in the same circular orbit around a planet. The moons are each 120,000 kilometers from the surface of the planet
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

MN is the diameter of the planet which is MN = 60000

AM and NC are the distance of moons from the surface of the planet.

AM = NC = 120000

Since, angle ABC is given as 90 degree, it means, line AC will pass from the diameter of the planet.

So, distance between moon A and moon C is =

AC=AM + MN + NC

AC = 120000+ 60000+ 120000

AC = 300000

Hence the distance between point A and point C is 300000 Km.   :   Answer

Hope it will help :)
