Question

Diagonals of a parallelogram wxyz intersects each other at point o.Oy = 5 find l wy

Answer 1

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing that is important is that names for points on polygons conventionally are given in order as you go around the polygon.  Here, this means that points W and Y are opposite vertices of the parallelogram (and X and Z are opposite each other, too).

The second thing that we should note is that in a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other, so the point O is the midpoint of WY (and also the midpoint of XZ).

This means that OY and OW have the same length, or in other words, that OY is half of WY.  Since OY = 5, it follows then that WY = 2 x 5 = 10.
