Math Problem Statement
Find the value of x in the given quadrilateral where diagonal parts are expressed as 2(x + 6), 24, 4x, and 24.
Solution
The image shows a problem involving a quadrilateral with diagonals. To find the value of , the equation for the diagonals' lengths is given:
- One diagonal has expressions and .
- The other diagonal has expressions and .
Since these diagonals bisect each other in a parallelogram, we can set the two segments of each diagonal equal to one another:
- For the first diagonal: Solve for :
Thus, the value of is 6.
