ABCD is a Rectangle. Find the values of x and y?AB =30 DA= 14 DC= x+y ...
ABCD is a rectangle.
∴ AB = CD
⇒ 30 = x + y
or x + y = 30 ..... (i)
Similarly, AD = BC
⇒ 14 = x - y
or x - y = 14 .......(ii)
On adding eq. (i) and (ii), we get
2x = 44
⇒ x = 22
Putting the value of x in eq. (i), we get
22 + y = 30
⇒ y = 30 -22
⇒ y = 8
So, x = 22, y = 8.

ABCD is a Rectangle. Find the values of x and y?AB =30 DA= 14 DC= x+y ...
X+y=30.
x-y=14.
2x=16.
x= 8.
put the value of x.
8+y=30 .
y=30-8.
y=22
so x=8 ,y= 22
ABCD is a Rectangle. Find the values of x and y?AB =30 DA= 14 DC= x+y ...
To find the values of x and y in the rectangle ABCD, we can use the properties of a rectangle.
Given:
AB = 30
DA = 14
DC = x + y
CB = x - y
We know that in a rectangle, opposite sides are equal in length. So, AB = CD and DA = CB.
Using the given information, we can write two equations:
AB = CD
30 = x + y
DA = CB
14 = x - y
Now, we have a system of equations that we can solve to find the values of x and y.
Adding the two equations, we get:
30 + 14 = (x + y) + (x - y)
44 = 2x
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we get:
22 = x
Now, substitute the value of x in one of the original equations to find y:
14 = x - y
14 = 22 - y
Subtracting 22 from both sides of the equation, we get:
-8 = -y
Multiplying both sides of the equation by -1, we get:
8 = y
Therefore, the values of x and y are 22 and 8 respectively.
Thus, the correct answer is option D (22 and 8).
