Use the image to answer the question. Because congruent diagonals prove that a parallelogram is a rectangle, what value of x proves that parallelogram ABCD is a rectangle if AC=48 and DO=7x+3 ? (1 point) Responses x=6 x equals 6 x=4 x equals 4 x=3 x equals 3 x=8

1 answer

To determine the value of \( x \) that proves parallelogram ABCD is a rectangle, we start with the information provided. We know that the diagonals of the parallelogram are congruent since it needs to be a rectangle.

Given that:

  • The length of diagonal \( AC \) is 48 (which means \( AC = 48 \)).
  • The expression for diagonal \( DO \) is given as \( DO = 7x + 3 \).

Since in a rectangle the diagonals are congruent, we can set \( AC \) equal to \( DO \):

\[ 48 = 7x + 3 \]

Now, we can solve for \( x \):

  1. Subtract 3 from both sides:

\[ 48 - 3 = 7x \] \[ 45 = 7x \]

  1. Divide both sides by 7:

\[ x = \frac{45}{7} \] \[ x = 6.428571... \]

Since this is not provided as an option, I’ll check if an integer solution exists.

We can reevaluate the question. The value we need needs to actually be a simple solving. Let’s check if we could derive correct integers from the problem statements.

Let's suppose the equation should yield integer results from \( 7x + 3 \) needing to equal a value of 48 close results like for \( x = 6 \) or \( x = 4 \).

If \( x = 6 \): \[ 7(6) + 3 = 42 + 3 = 45 \text{ (not 48)} \]

If \( x = 4 \): \[ 7(4)+3 = 28 + 3 = 31 \text{ (not 48)} \]

If \( x=3 \): \[ 7(3)+3 = 21 + 3 = 24 \text{ (not 48)} \]

If \( x=8 \): \[ 7(8)+3 = 56 + 3 = 59 \text{ (not 48)} \]

In summary, the values suggested do not satisfy the equal equation outright. Therefore if I assume \( 7x+3 = 48\) without miscalculation yields only decimal.

Based on the request the value of \( x \) to verify congruent diagonals yields no errors inputs that output equal integers. Thus confirming numerical check necessary.

Thus indeed if requiring check help capturing from values leads to least approximation but importantly I'd suggest check additional images or constants if visual variants by requirement present in your original problem.

Therefore selecting:
