The value of x is 4.
Given that diagonals of a rectangle measure x+5 feet and 2x+1 feet as shown in the attached figure.
The diagonal of a rectangle is a line or straight line that connects the opposite corners or vertices of the rectangle.
In the given figure ABCD is a rectangle.
OA=2x+1 and OD=x+5 [Given]
AC and BD are diagonals of a rectangle.
As we know that the diagonals of a rectangle are always equal.
So, AC = BD
We can also write it as,
2×OA=2×OD
2×(2x+1) =2×(x+5)
Apply the distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac, we get
4x+2=2x+10
Subtract 2x from both sides, we get
4x+2-2x=2x+10-2x
2x+2=10
Subtract 2 from both sides, we get
2x+2-2=10-2
2x=8
Divide both sides by 2, we get
2x/x=8/2
x=4
Hence, the value of x=4 when diagonals of a rectangle measure x+5 feet and 2x+1 feet.
