Step-by-step explanation:
Firstvplease refer to the image
In the parallelogram angle bisector of "angle P" is meeting SR at M and when the lines PM and QR are extended they meet at T
Now to find RT first we proof that
Angel QPM = Angel SPM. ------( GIVEN) ( i )
ANGEL SPT = Angel QTP ------- ( alternate interior) ( ii )
therefore from 1 and 2 we get
ANGEL QOT = ANGEL QTP
this proces that Triangle QPT is Isosceles Triangle
and
PQ = QT = 12
PQ = QT + RT
PQ = 12
QR = 9
12 = 9 + RT
RT = 12 - 9
RT = 3 cm
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU
