ABCD diagonals intersect at E. If m∠BAC=4x+5 and m∠CAD=5x-14, then find m∠CAD.
1 answer:
Answer: m∠CAD = 81°
Step-by-step explanation: <u>Diagonal</u> is a line that unites opposite sides.
ABCD is a prallelogram. One property of diagonal in a parallelogram is it separates the parallelogram in 2 congruent triangles.
The figure below shows ABCD with its diagonals.
Since diagonal divides a parallelogram in 2 congruent triangles, it means the internal angles are also congruent. So
m∠BAC = m∠CAD
4x + 5 = 5x - 14
x = 19
Then, m∠CAD is
m∠CAD = 5(19) - 14
m∠CAD = 81
The angle m∠CAD is 81°.

The length is 10.
Since the two points share the same y-coordinate, the segment rt is horizontal.
This means that the length of the side is simply the difference (in absolute value) between the x coordinates of the two points.
So, we have
