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.

To make sure that a given parallelogram is a rectangle, at least hon many of
zmey [24]

Answer:

D. One

Step-by-step explanation:

     A parallelogram will have two sets of equal sides. Since we have that fact, all we need to know are the angles.

     A quadrilateral will have a total of 360° in its angles. If only one angle is equal to 90°, then we can do <u>the math</u> to figure out that all the others must be 90° as well. A rectangle is a parallelogram with the opposite sides being parallel and all the angles being 90°. This then answers the question.

     "<u>The Math</u>"

-> Keep in mind there will be four angles

-> Once we subtract the first angle of 90°, we will have three angles left. Hence why we divide by 3.

360° - 90° = 270°

270° / 3 = 90° ✓

Can someone help me please

Using the Law of Sines  (sina/A=sinb/B=sincC for any triangle)

sinc/28=sin90/53  (sin90=1)  multiply both sides by 28

sinc=28/53  take the inverse of sin (arcsin) of both sides

c=arcsin(28/53)°

c≈31.89°  (to nearest hundredth of a degree)

So it is obvious that they rounded to nearest tenth of a degree

c≈31.9°

2 more than three times a number is 20. What is the number
Luba_88 [7]
<h2><u>The value of x is equal to 6.</u></h2>

2 + 3x = 20

Subtract 2 from both sides.

3x = 18

Divide both sides by 3.

x = 6
