Question

In the figure , XY || QR ,PQ/XQ = 7/3 and PR = 6.3 cm. Find YR

Answer 1

Answer:

2.7cm

Step-by-step explanation:

7/3=6.3/x

7x=18.9

x=2.7 cm

Answer 2

Given:

PQ/XQ=7/3

PR = 6.3 cm

To find:

The length of YR

Solution:

The required length is 2.7 cm.

We know that the lines XY and QR are parallel and so, the ratio of their sides would be equal.

PQ/XQ=PR/YR

We can obtain the required length by substituting the given values in the above ratio.

Using the values, we get

7/3=PR/YR

7/3=6.3/YR

7YR=6.3×3

YR=0.9×3

YR=2.7

So, YR=2.7 cm

Therefore, the required length is 2.7 cm.
