Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

1 = 1/(x-2)

Multiply both sides by (x-2),

1*(x-2) = 1/(x-2) * (x-2)

x-2 = 1

Adding 2 on both sides,

x-2+2 = 1+2

x = 3

Calculate the area of the parallelogram, giving your answer correct to 3 significant figures.

Oliga [24]

Answer:

114 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent, so

AB = CD , that is

13x - 7 = 5x + 9 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

8x - 7 = 9 ( add 7 to both sides )

8x = 16 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 2

Then

5x + 9 = 5(2) + 9 = 10 + 9 = 19

3x = 3(2) = 6

The area (A) of a parallelogram is calculated as

A = bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height ), thus

A = 19 × 6 = 114 units²
