Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
If ABCD is a parallelogram, then AB = CD
AB=CD
6x-10 = 3x+5
Subtract 3x from each side
6x-3x -10 = 3x-3x+5
3x-10 = 5
Add 10 to each side
3x-10+10 = 5+10
3x = 15
Divide by 3 on each side
3x/3 =15/3
x=5
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the third side. The third side must be the hypotenuse since the height (vertical leg) is 9, and the length (horizontal leg) is 5.
a² + b² = c², where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. Plug in 5 and 9 for a and b; solve for c.
5² + 9² = c² ⇒ 25 + 81 = c²
106 = c²
Square root both sides.
c = 10.3
Third side: 10.3
Straight line: supplementary
Supplementary is sum of 180 degrees
x + 96 + 5x = 180 degrees
6x + 96 = 180
6x = 84, x = 14
Solution: x = 14
Yes. it would be 1 and 18/30 or 1 9/15. it can also be 1 and 3/5 or 8/5
