<u>Given</u>:
Given that the triangles ABD and CAD are similar.
The length of AB is 12.
The length of BD is x.
The length of AC is 27.
We need to determine the value of x.
<u>Value of x:</u>
Let us use the leg rule to determine the value of x.
Thus, we have;

Substituting the values, we get;

Cross multiplying, we get;


Dividing both sides by 27, we have;

Thus, the value of x is 
Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the diagonals of the rectangle are congruent,
AC = BD
By using formula to calculate the distance between two points,
Distance between two points = 
Distance between A(0, -3) and C(2, 8),
AC = 
= 
= 
Similarly, distance between two points B(-4, 0) and D(6, 5),
BD = 
= 
= 
Therefore, both the diagonals are congruent.
Hence, given quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle.
Slope = m
Equation to find slope is:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
2 points:
(4,-2) 4 = x1 and -2 = y1
(8,5) 8 = x2 and 5 = y2
So...
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (5 - (-2)) / (8 - 4)
m = 7 / 4 or 1.75
Therefore, the slope of the line is 7/4 OR 1.75.
