In a parallelogram, if the diagonals are congruent, then the parallelogram is a rectangle. In this situation, we have:
1. The length of diagonal AC is given as \( AC = 48 \).
2. The length of diagonal DO (which is likely referring to diagonal BD in quadrilateral ABCD) is given as \( DO = 7x + 3 \).
Since ABCD is a rectangle, we can set these two equal to each other:
\[
7x + 3 = 48
\]
Now, we can solve for \( x \):
1. Subtract 3 from both sides:
\[
7x = 48 - 3
\]
\[
7x = 45
\]
2. Divide both sides by 7:
\[
x = \frac{45}{7}
\]
\[
x = 6.42857 \ldots
\]
Since \( x \) must be a whole number based on the answer choices provided (A. 6, B. 3, C. 8, D. 4), we need to re-evaluate our method given the options. However, based on calculation, \( x \approx 6.43 \) seems incorrect according to provided answer choices.
Let's consider calculating possible values based on the provided answer options to find congruency:
If we test option A for \( x = 6 \):
\[
DO = 7(6) + 3 = 42 + 3 = 45 \, \text{(This does not match 48)}
\]
If we try option B for \( x = 3 \):
\[
DO = 7(3) + 3 = 21 + 3 = 24 \, \text{(This does not match 48)}
\]
If we take C for \( x = 8 \):
\[
DO = 7(8) + 3 = 56 + 3 = 59 \, \text{(This does not match 48)}
\]
Finally, let's test option D for \( x = 4 \):
\[
DO = 7(4) + 3 = 28 + 3 = 31 \, \text{(This does not match 48)}
\]
Based on my calculations, none of the option values yield a \( DO \) that matches \( AC \). We can conclude, considering each provided value, **there might be a requirement/condition missing from the problem or incorrect problem setup**.
However, the equations suggest that as soon as dx appears consistent mathematically, we truly could give that \( 7x = 45\) led to \( x \approx 6.42857 \).
In conclusion, **none of the options yield the correct measure if necessarily resolved under strict mathematical proc.** Thus, could be applicable conjecture that they try resolving repercussions in literary mistakes embedded.
Please clarify the \( DO \) versus diagonal notation, or the worked values expected in context for a direct affirmation on relations would’ve revisited!
