The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent. That means that their lengths are equal. One diagonal is AC, and the other diagonal is BD. AC must equal BD. We set their lengths equal and solve for x.

3(x - 2) = x + 18

Distribute the 3 on the left side.

3x - 6 = x + 18

Subtract x from both sides; add 6 to both sides.

2x = 24

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 12

Now that we know x = 12, we replace x with 12 in BD = x + 18 to find the length of BD.

BD = x + 18 = 12 + 18 = 30

Since the diagonals are congruent, the length of AC is also 30.

Answer:   AC = 30;  BD = 30

ABCD is a rectangle so the diagonals are equal

AC = BD

3(x - 2) = x + 18

3x - 6 = x + 18

2x = 24

x = 12

AC = 3(x - 2) = 3(12 - 2) = 3(10) = 30

BD = x + 18 = 12 + 18 = 30

Answer

AC = BD = 30

Simplify. 8u+9v+3u−5v
musickatia [10]
Combine like terms
8u+3u= 11u
and
9v-5v= 4v
So the answer is 11u+4v

At camp in Green Bay, Wisconsin, 7/9 of the participants were from Wisconsin. Of that group 3/5 were 12 years old. What fraction
In-s [12.5K]
Since the problem stated that 7/9 of the participants were from Wisconsin, so 2/9 of it were not from Wisconsin. Now out of 7/9 participants, 3/5 of them were 12 years old, so 2/5 of them are not 12 years old. Since we now know the fractions, we'll get the equation 7/9 x 3/5 multiply 7 and 3 then divide it to the product of 9 and 5 to have the answer of 7/15. 7/15 of the participants of the camp in Green Bay is from Wisconsin and are 12 years old.
