Question

In parallelogram ABCD, diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E, AE = x^2 - 12, and CE = 4x What is AC?

Answer 1

The length of the AC is x^2  + 4x  - 12.

What is a parallelogram?

That quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel is called a parallelogram.

Thus, a parallelogram is always a quadrilateral but a quadrilateral can or cannot be a parallelogram.

Given :

In Parallelogram ABCD, diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E.

such that

AE = x^2 - 12,

CE = 4x

We know that the diagonal of a parallelogram bisect each other.

x^2 - 12 = 4x

x^2  - 4x  - 12= 0

(x-6)(x-2) = 0

Hence, the value of x = 6, 2.

AC = AE + CE = x^2  + 4x  - 12.

The length of the AC is x^2  + 4x  - 12.
