Answer:
A. x = 5 (Equation below)
B. AC = 9 | BD = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Since we know the diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent, we know that the two bottom parts of the diagonal BD (2x - 8 and x - 4) are congruent to the diagonal AC (x + 2) . This means you can just equal them together and get the value of x:
2x - 8 + x - 4 = x + 2
3x - 12 = x + 2
3x = x + 14
2x = 14
x = 7
B. Just plug in 5 for x:
AC = x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
BD = 2x - 8 + x -4 = 3x - 12 = 21 - 12 = 9
We will have a system of equations, and we are going to solve it by using substitution.
Let's make the equations.
x+y+z=2100
z+y=x
Since y and z are equal, I think it is easier for us to have them as one variable for now. Let the value of z and y be a.
These are the equations now.
x+2a=2100
2a=x
Since the second equation is giving the value of x, let it replace the value of x also in the first equation.
2a+2a=2100
4a=2100
2100÷4= 525
so, x and y equal 525. Let's put this in our original equation.
x+525+525=2100
x+ 1,050= 2,100
x= 1,050
So, x=1,050, y= 525 =z.
yes it is right right right 100%
