The area of ABCD is 100in squared and AC=2*BD Find AC and BD pic below

|dw:1365269768722:dw|

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So it must be a rhombus. Right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no I pretty suree its a paralleogram

OpenStudy (mertsj):

But a rhombus is a parallelogram with 4 congruent sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it could be it just as like a square by ABCD so u no what it is but I don't no how to get that in the question....and it gives me that pic and tells me to solve...do u need a better pic of it?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

It could not be a square because the diagonals are not congruent.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So it is a rhombus and the area of a rhombus can be found by multiplying the diagonals and dividing by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so it would be 100=(x+x)(2x+2x)/2 and solve like this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=25?? @Mertsj

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and just plug in 25 for x and get AC and DB?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or @e.mccormick??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or is x=33.33
