(i) In fig, if AB IICD , find the value of x.

Answer»

Diagonal of trapezium divide each other proportiona 

AO/OC=BO/OD 

4/4X-2=x+1/2x+4 

4x- 2x+4x-2=8x+16

 4x2+2x-2-8x-16=0 

4x2-6x-18=0 

2(2x- 3x-9)=0 

2x- 3x-9=0 

2x2-6x+3x-9=0 

2x(x-3)+3(x-3)=0 

(x-3)(2x+3)=0 

x-3=0 

x=3 

or,2x+3=0 

2x=-3 

x= -3/2 

x=-3/2 is not possible 

So x=3
