<em>BD</em> = 56
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: In rectangle, the diagonals are congruent and bisect each other.
So, <em>AC</em> = <em>BD</em>
⇒<em>AG</em> + <em>GC</em> = <em>BG</em> + <em>GD</em>
⇒<em>AG</em> + <em>AG</em> = <em>GD</em> + <em>GD</em>
⇒ 2<em>AG</em> = 2<em>GD</em>
⇒<em>AG</em> = <em>GD</em>
⇒ –7<em>j </em>+ 7 = 5<em>j</em> + 43
⇒–7<em>j</em> – 5<em>j</em> = 43 – 7
⇒–12<em>j</em> = 36
⇒<em>j</em> = –3
Step 2: <em>BD</em> = 2<em>DG</em>
<em>BD</em> = 2(5<em>j</em> + 43)
= 2(5 (–3) + 43)
= 2(–15 + 43)
= 2 × 28
= 56
Hence, <em>BD</em> = 56.
The answer for this problem is 70
Answer:
8 3/4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Total length of the rod = 24 1/2 inches
Carlos = 8 3/4 inches
Amanda = 6 3/8 inches
length of the rod remaining = Total length - ( Carlos + Amanda)
= 24 1/2 - (8 3/4 + 6 3/8)
= 49/2 - (35/4 + 51/8)
= 49/2 - ( 75+51/8)
= 49/2 - 126/8
= 196-126/8
= 70/8
= 8 6/8 inches
= 8 3/4 inches
Length of rod remaining = 8 3/4 inches
Answer:
9
Solution:
Write it in an algebraic form (x is your number)
2x-11=7
Now solve
2x=7+11=18
X=18/2=9
