Answer:
12 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
as diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other
PO=ON
PO=9cm
PN=PO+ON
2x-6=9+9
2x-6=18
2x=18+6
2x=24
x=24/2
therefore,
x=12

The value of x is 12 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
- We know that in a parallelogram, diagonals bisect at a point.
- Here, according to the given information, PINK is a parallelogram and PN and IK are its diagonals.
- PN, that is an entire diagonal is (2x - 6) cm long and ON is 9 cm., which is the half of PN as diagonals bisect each other at the point O of the parallelogram PINK and ON = ON or we can say that PN = twice of ON.
- Then the diagonal PN that is (2x - 6) cm = 2 * (9 cm.)
- Now, 2x-6 = 18
Or, 2x = 18 + 6
Or, 2x = 24
Or, x = 12.
Thus, the value of x is 12 cm.
