1. The problem asks for one additional fact that guarantees a frame with opposite sides congruent is rectangular.
2. A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles.
3. Since opposite sides are congruent, the frame is a parallelogram.
4. To guarantee it is a rectangle, one additional fact is that one angle is a right angle ($90^\circ$).
5. This is because in a parallelogram, if one angle is $90^\circ$, all angles are right angles, making it a rectangle.

1. Given quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle with diagonals AC and BD intersecting at E.
2. We know in a rectangle, diagonals are congruent and bisect each other.
3. Given $AC = 3x - 11$ and $BE = x + 5$.
4. Since E is the midpoint of BD, $BE = ED = \frac{BD}{2}$.
5. Also, $AC = BD$ because diagonals of a rectangle are equal.
6. So, $BD = 2 \times BE = 2(x + 5) = 2x + 10$.
7. Set $AC = BD$:
$$3x - 11 = 2x + 10$$
8. Subtract $2x$ from both sides:
$$3x - 11 - \cancel{2x} = \cancel{2x} + 10 - 2x$$
$$x - 11 = 10$$
9. Add 11 to both sides:
$$x - 11 + 11 = 10 + 11$$
$$x = 21$$
10. Find $BD$:
$$BD = 2x + 10 = 2(21) + 10 = 42 + 10 = 52$$
11. The correct answer is B. 52.
