Question

Given parallelogram ABCD, diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E. AE=2x, BE=y+10, CE=x+2 and DE=4y−8. Find the length of AC.

Answer 1

Answer: 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, so you can set AE and CE equal to each other, as well as BE and ED

2x=x+2

x=2

AC=2x+x+2

AC=3x+2

SUbstitute x

AC=3(2)+2

AC=6+2

AC=8
