Answer: x =104
Step-by-step explanation:
If we draw the black line shown in the figure, two isosceles triangles are formed, and the base angles of the isosceles triangles are the same. The red angles are the same and the green ones too. The 104 degree angle is the sum of the red angle and the green angle, and x is also the sum of the red angle and the green angle, therefore x = 104.
I believe the answer you are looking for would be C.
<em>BD</em> = 56
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: In rectangle, the diagonals are congruent and bisect each other.
So, <em>AC</em> = <em>BD</em>
⇒<em>AG</em> + <em>GC</em> = <em>BG</em> + <em>GD</em>
⇒<em>AG</em> + <em>AG</em> = <em>GD</em> + <em>GD</em>
⇒ 2<em>AG</em> = 2<em>GD</em>
⇒<em>AG</em> = <em>GD</em>
⇒ –7<em>j </em>+ 7 = 5<em>j</em> + 43
⇒–7<em>j</em> – 5<em>j</em> = 43 – 7
⇒–12<em>j</em> = 36
⇒<em>j</em> = –3
Step 2: <em>BD</em> = 2<em>DG</em>
<em>BD</em> = 2(5<em>j</em> + 43)
= 2(5 (–3) + 43)
= 2(–15 + 43)
= 2 × 28
= 56
Hence, <em>BD</em> = 56.
155 = 2x -15
170 = 2x
85 = x
She had 85 when she first started.
