Answer:
16 Units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
THIS CASE ⇒ AC = BD
⇒ Substitute the values
2 (x - 3) = x + 5
⇒ Clear the value of x
2x - 6 = x + 5
2x - x = 5 + 6
x = 11
⇒ Substitute the value of x in any of the equations
11 + 5 = 16
⇒ Length of each diagonal is 16 units.

Answers:
- x = 10
- angle CAT = 126 degrees
- angle MUD = 54 degrees
=========================================================
Explanation:
∠CAT and ∠MUD are supplementary, which means the angle measures add to 180. They form a straight line.
( m∠CAT ) + ( m∠MUD ) = 180
( 11x+16 ) + ( 4x+14 ) = 180
11x+16 + 4x+14 = 180
(11x+4x) + (16+14) = 180
15x+30 = 180
15x = 180-30
15x = 150
x = 150/15
x = 10
Let's find each angle based on this x value
- m∠CAT=11x+16 = 11*10+16 = 110+16 = 126 degrees
- m∠MUD=4x+14 = 4*10+14 = 40+14 = 54 degrees
Those two angles add to 126+54 = 180 to confirm we do indeed have supplementary angles, and confirm the correct answers.
Hmm it would be k(x)=2(5x) or it could be k(x)=10x
Hope this helps!
