Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x in a parallelogram ABCD, which is also a rhombus, one must recall the common properties of parallelogram and rhombus.

One of the properties say that diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other, It means that the triangles formed in the figure are right-angles triangle.

Therefore, to calculate the value of x we can write:

(5x - 35) = 90 because it is the right angled triangle.

5x = 90 - 35

5x = 65

x = 65/5

x = 13

Answer: First option 13

Solution

If ABCD is a rhombus, the diagonals must be perpendicular, then the angle (5x+25)° must be a right angle (90°):

(5x+25)°=90°

5x+25=90

Solving for x: Subtracting 25 both sides of the equation:

5x+25-25=90-25

Subtracting:

5x=65

Dividing both sides of the equation by 5:

5x/5=65/5

Dividing:

x=13

Answer: The value of x must be 13

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Let the current speed be "c";

Then the boat speed in still wate is "5c":

-----------------------

Upstream speed:

distance = 12 miles ; rate = 5c-c = 4c mph ; time = 12/4c = 3/c hrs

---------------------------

Downstream speed:

distance = 12 miles ; rate = 5c+c = 6c mph ; time = 12/6c = 2/c hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation:

time + time = 2 1/2 hrs

3/c + 2/c = 5/2

Multiply thru by 2c to get:

6 + 4 = 5c

c = 2 mph (speed of the current)

5c = 10 mph (speed of the boat in still water)

By definition, two angles are supplementary if the sum of them is 180 degrees. In this case (see figure attached with the answer) the line AD is transversal to lines AB and DC. This is a proof of the Same-side interior angle theorem.

This theorem states that if we have two lines that are parallel and we intercept those two lines with a line that is transversal to both, same-side interior angles are formed, and also sum 180º, in other words, they are supplementary angles.

Then:

By the definition of a parallelogram, AB∥DC. AD is a transversal between these sides, so ∠A and ∠D are same-side interior angles. Because AB and DC are parallel, the same-side interior angles must be supplementary by the same-side interior angles theorem. Therefore, ∠A and ∠D are supplementary.
