Question

PQRS is a parallelogram. The diagonals PR and SQ intersect at O. If
OS = (y+9) cm, OS = 13 cm, OP = 16 cm, OR = (x+y) cm, find x and y.

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 12cm

y= 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

since OS is 13, (y+9) will also be equal to 13

thus y+9= 13

y= 13-9

y= 4 cm

OP=OR (as diagonals intersect at O)

so, 16= x+y

16= x+4

16-4= x

x=12 cm
