Answer:

BD = 20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Parallelogram ABCD has diagonal segments AC and BD that intersect at E.

BE = (x+8) and ED = 5x

We need to find the length of BD.

BD = BE + ED ...(1)

We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisects each other. It means,

BE = ED

x+8 = 5x

8 = 5x - x

8 = 4x

x = 2

BE = (x+8)

= (2+8)

= 10

ED = 5x

= 5(2)

= 10

Put the values in equation (1).

BD = 10 + 10

= 20 units

Hence, the length of BD is 20 units.

Is 1/2 greater than 1/3
storchak [24]

To find whether 1/2 is greater than 1/3, it is important to convert them to decimals. By converting them to decimals, we can visually understand the number that is greater.
1/2 = 0.5
1/3 = 0.33
So from the above deduction we can conclude that 1/2 is greater than 1/3. I hope the procedure is not that complicated for you to understand. You can always use this procedure for finding the answer to similar kind of questions in future without requiring any help from anyone else.

Ok sum everything she buys to get the total
24.99 + 14.99 + 7.49 = 47.47
Now she gave 50$ bill but she only bought the total for 47.47$ that means she will get some money back because she overpaid.
50 - 47.47 = 2.53$
