Question

ABCD is a square. Square A B C D is shown. The length of A B is x + 6 and the length of B C is 2 x minus 1. What is the length of line segment DC? 5 units 7 units 11 units 13 units

Answer 1

Answer: 13 units

Explanation:

DC = 13 units

Explanation:

For a square, all the sides are equal, hence;

AB = BC

x+6 = 2x-1

x-2x = -1-6

-x = -7

x =7

Also DC =AB

DC = x+6

DC = 7+6

DC = 13 units

Hence the length of DC is 13 units

Answer 2

DC = 13units

Explanation:

For a square, all the sides are equal, hence;

AB = BC

x+6 = 2x-1

x-2x = -1-6

-x = -7

x =7

Also DC =AB

DC = x+6

DC = 7+6

DC = 13units

Hence the length of DC is 13units
