Exercise 31 Page 423

If the diagonals of a parallelogram are perpendicular, then the parallelogram is a rhombus.

18, see solution.

Practice makes perfect

We want to find the value of x for which the given figure is a rhombus.

For a rhombus the angles on each side of a diagonal are congruent. (5x-30)^(∘) ≅ (3x+6)^(∘) By the definition of congruent angles, we know that their measures are equal. (5x-30)^(∘) = (3x+6)^(∘) Let's solve this equation for x.
5x-30=3x+6
2x-30=6
2x=36
x=18
