Math Problem Statement
find the value of "x"
Solution
The image you've provided shows a rhombus with the following information given:
- Side
- Side
- Diagonal
- Diagonal
In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect each other at right angles and are equal in length, but they are not equal to each other. However, all four sides of a rhombus are equal in length.
Since , and both of these are equal to the sides and , we can set up an equation using the property that the diagonals bisect each other.
Given that the diagonals of a rhombus are equal, the equation to find will be:
Let's solve for :
Subtract from both sides:
Add 7 to both sides:
So, the value of is .
