Answer:
x = 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that BE is parallel to CD and intersects the 2 other sides, then it divides the 2 sides in proportion, that is
=
, substitute values
=
( cross- multiply )
8x = 60 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 7.5
The angle 5x will be 50⁰. Then the correct option is D.
<h3>What is a parallelogram?</h3>It is a polygon with four sides. The total interior angle is 360 degrees. A parallelogram's opposite sides are parallel and equal.
The diagram is given below.
We know the sum of internal angles is 360 degrees.
Then we have
5x + 130 + 5x + 130 = 360
10x = 100
x = 10
Then the angle 5x will be
5x = 5(10)
5x = 50⁰
Then the correct option is D.
