In parallelogram ABCD , diagonals AC⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ and BD⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ intersect at point E, BE=x2−21 , and DE=4x . What is BD ?
Enter your answer in the box.

[_] units

Respuesta :

bearing in mind that in a parallelogram, both diagonals bisect each other, namely they cut each other in two equal halves, thus BE = DE.  Check the picture below.

we can't use x = -3, because for DE that'd give use a 4(-3) = -12, which doesn't work for a segment with a length greater than 0.

well, since DE = 4(7) = BE, that means BD = DE + BE = 28 + 28 = 56.
