‹RECTANGLE ∥ PARALLELOGRAM›
- 1.) Given: ABCD is a rectangle. Find the measure of its diagonal if AC = 4x – 30 and BD = x.
- 2.) Given: STUV is a parallelogram. Find the measure of ∠SVU.
1.) Given: ABCD is a rectangle. Find the measure of its diagonal if AC = 4x – 30 and BD = x.
↳ We know that opposite sides are congruent so this means.
↳ Substitute the given measure.
↳ Transpose
↳ Divide both sides by 3
↳ Since the value of x is 10, now we need to find the measure of its diagonal so we need to find it by m∠AC and set x to 10.
∴ Therefore, the measure of its diagonal is 10.
2.) Given: STUV is a parallelogram. Find the measure of ∠SVU.
↳ We know that opposite sides are congruent so this means.
↳ Substitute the given measure.
↳ Transpose
↳ Add and Subtract the given value.
↳ Divide both sides by 1
↳ Now that we take the value of x, we need to take the m∠V then multiply it and set x to 10.
∴ Therefore, the measure angle m∠SVU will be 124°
