Question

ABCD is a rectangle. Find the length of segment AC

Answer 1

Answer:

52

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find x. As BE and DE will have the same measurements, you can set your formula up as

5x+11=3x+17

5x=3x+17-11

5x-2x=6

2x=6

x=6/2

x=3

CE and AE will also have the same value, now substitute 3 in place of x to get the value of segment BE

5x+11

5*3+11 = 26

This also means that CE = 26 and AE = 26

AC = CE + AE

AC = 52
