I need to find the area of rectangle ABCD. I know that ABCD is a rectangle with diagonals intersecting at point E. Segment DE equals 4x-5, segment BC equals 2x+6, and segment AC equals 6x. I predict that To find the area of rectangle ABCD I need to find out the base and height of the rectangle. The first step is to find what x equals. Since I know the intersecting line segments AC and DB are congruent that means when I times the equation 4x-5 for segment DE by two it will equal the equation 6x for segment AC. So when I set the equations (4x-5) 2 = 6x I will find what x equals. Knowing what x equals I can plug it in the equation 2x+6 to find the measure of segment BC which is the height of the rectangle. I will also need to plug x into
