<u>Given</u>:

Given that ABCD is a rectangle.

The diagonals of the rectangle are AC and DB.

The length of AE is (6x -55)

The length of EC is (3x - 16)

We need to determine the length of the diagonal DB.

<u>Value of x:</u>

The value of x can be determined by equating AE and EC

Thus, we have;

AE=EC

Substituting the values, we get;

6x-55=3x-16

3x-55=-16

       3x=39

         x=13

Thus, the value of x is 13.

<u>Length of AC:</u>

Length of AE = 6(13)-55=78-55=23

Length of EC = 3(13)-16=39-16=23

Thus, the length of AC can be determined by adding the lengths of AE and EC.

Thus, we have;

AC=AE+EC

AC=23+23

AC=46

Thus, the length of AC is 46.

<u>Length of DB:</u>

Since, the diagonals AC and DB are perpendicular to each other, then their lengths are congruent.

Hence, we have;

AC=DB

 46=DB

Thus, the length of DB is 46.

Answer:

B.  $42.60.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the first day  price is 43.85 + 2.70 = $46.55

second  day       price is 46.55 + 2.70 = $49.25

For the next 2 days  it goes down $1.10 so the price is  $49.25 - 2.20=$47.05

On the last day it loses $4.45 so the final  price is  $47.05-4.45 =  $42.60.
