Question

2) In the figure PQ || MN if KP pm 4 13
and KN= 20.4cm - then find the value
of KQ. ​

Answer 1

In Triangle KMN, We have

PQ // MN

Therefore, KP/PM = KQ/QN

KP/PM = KQ/KN-KQ

4/13 = KQ / 20.4 - KQ

4(20.4 - KQ ) = 13 KQ

81.6 - 4KQ = 13 KQ

17 KQ = 81.6

KQ = 81.6/17

⇒ 4.8 cm.

Hence, the value of KQ = 4.8 cm .
