Question

ABCD is a rectangle. Find the length of each diagonal.
AC = 2(5a + 1) and BD = 2(a + 1)
I kept getting 0 and 2 but Im not sure if that right

Answer 1

come back please i like help you but just than collaborate - ok. ?

Answer 2

do you know how are the diagonales of a rectangle ? has different length ? or are equales ?

Answer 3

Hello!!! ANd thank you
Sorry thats all the info they give me for this equation

Answer 4

yes these are eligible to solve this exercise just you need to know how are the length of diagonals of a rectangle ?

Answer 5

how you see there on my posted image how are these length of diagonales ?

are differents ? or equales ?

Answer 6

do you know how many degree has every angle of a rectangle ?

Answer 7

angles - sorry

so has 90 degree what mean that are congruent so equales - yes ?

Answer 8

courage

Answer 9

so what is your opinion please ?

Answer 10

I believe they are equales. and also AB and CD are parallels too

Answer 11

so this is true really that AC = DB so from these given datets than you rewrite this equalitie can you solve it for ,,a" ? how many value wil get for a ?

Answer 12

so you know that

AC = BD and you know bc. given that AC = 2(5a +1) and BD = 2(a+1) yes ?

Answer 13

Yes
So A = 0???

Answer 14

can you writing here please your calculi how you get a=0 ?

Answer 15

how you get above wrote zero for a ?

Answer 16

Okay Hold up please.
2(5a+1)=2(a+1)
5a+1=a+1
4a=0


(Then that's were I got losted, Sorry)

Answer 17

exactly this is right,correct wrote and from there result that a=0
yes ?

Answer 18

Yes

Answer 19

so now that you know the value of ,,a" so you can calculi easy the length of diagonales easy

Answer 20

without this easy from the end - sorry

Answer 21

how you calculi these length of AC and BD ?

Answer 22

so you know now that a=0
and you know that AC = 2(5a +1) and BD = 2(a+1)

than what you need to do for get these length ?

Answer 23

You have to plug the A value back into the equation???

Answer 24

just substitute this value of a in place of a inside this equations and will get the right length value sure

Answer 25

yes exactly

Answer 26

so in this case AC = ?

Answer 27

2!?

Answer 28

Thank you so much!!!

Answer 29

21 ? really you get 21 ? how please ? can you rewriting these your calculi how you get this 21 ?

Answer 30

I mean 2

Answer 31

ohhh sorry AC =2 is right
so than BD = ?

Answer 32

Also 2

Answer 33

exactly - nice

so do you understand it now sure clearly ?

Answer 34

Yes I do. Thank you. That really helped

Answer 35

anytime with great pleasure just tag me
