in rectangle klmn km = 8x+20 and ln = 52 find the value of x
In a rectangle, opposite sides are congruent.
Therefore, KM = LN = 52.
However, it is given that KM = 8x + 20.
So, we can set up the equation:
8x + 20 = 52
To solve for x, isolate the variable:
8x = 52 - 20
8x = 32
Divide both sides by 8 to solve for x:
x = 32/8
x = 4
Therefore, the value of x is 4.
