Question

8) In square HOPE, mH = 5x. Find the value of x.
A. 10
B. 18
C. 70
D. 15

Answer 1

`B.\text{ }18`

Step-by-step explanation

Let us make a sketch of the square:

Each angle in a square is equal to 90 degrees. This implies that:

`5x=90`

Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:

`\begin{gathered} (5x)/(5)=(90)/(5) \\ \\ x=18 \end{gathered}`

The answer is option B.
