Answer

Find out the length of ET .

To prove

As given

TREC is a rectangle.

Thus in the rectangle each diagonal bisects the other i.e divided each other in the two equal parts .

Thus CR is divided into 2x-3 and x + 7 .

2x - 3 = x + 7

x = 10

CR = 2x-3 + x + 7

= 2 × 10 - 3 + 10 + 7

= 34 unit

As in the rectangles diagonals are of equal length .

CR = ET

ET = 34 unit

Therefore the value of ET is 34 units .

Option (d) is correct .
