Question

Given square NOWR, what is the value of x and y?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4, y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles in a square are right, that is 90°

The diagonals bisect the angles , then

6x + 21 = 45 ( subtract 21 from both sides )

6x = 24 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 4

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

The sides of a square are congruent , then

10y - 29 = 5y + 16 ( subtract 5y from both sides )

5y - 29 = 16 ( add 29 to both sides )

5y = 45 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = 9
