Given :-
• PQRS is a rectangle
• It's diagonal meet at O
• The value of PO = 5x - 6
• The value of QO = 3x + 4
Solution :-
As , We know that,
[ Diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other at equal length ]
Therefore,
PO = OR = QO = OS
Now,
PO = QO
5x - 6 = 3x + 4
5x - 3x = 4 + 6
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5
Hence, The value of x = 5
• The length of PO = 5x - 6
= 5 * 5 - 6 = 25 - 6 = 19
It is given that
PO = OR = QO = OS = 19cm
Therefore,
The length of diagonal
PR = PO + OR = 19 + 19 = 38cm
The length of another diagonal,
QS = QO + OS = 19 + 19 = 38cm
