Find the value of x that makes each parallelogram the given type (answer both please)

a. x = 12

b. x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a. RECTANGLE

ABCD is a rectangle, AC and BD are its diagonals.

Diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.

Therefore,

AC = BD

10x + 8 = 9x + 20

10x - 9x = 20 - 8

x = 12

b. RHOMBUS

Diagonal of a rectangle bisect opposite angles.

Therefore,

(5x + 3)° = (2x + 15)°

5x + 3 = 2x + 15

5x - 2x = 15 - 3

3x = 12

x = 12/3

x = 4

n

step-by-step explanation:

the slope of the line is 60

one point on the line is (40,10)

step-by-step explanation:

in the equation outside the parenthesis the equation always tells you the slope. in this case it is 60.

in the parenthesis is also says 40 which is x because it is near the x and 10 is y because it is near y.
