Question

In the given parallelogram PQRS, find the values of x and y. (lengths are in cm)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, we know that the diagonals bisect each other.

Therefore SO=OQ. This given 16=x+y. Similarly, PO=OR, so that 20=y+7. We obtain y=20−7=13 cm.

Substituting the value of y in the first relation, we get 16=x+13. Hence x=3 cm.
