Question

The diagonals xz and wy of rectangle xyzw intersect in point M. If length xm = 5 cm ,then length xz=

Answer 1

ANSWER = Given = XM = 5cm

Find = XZ =. ?

The diagonals bisect each other. One pair of opposite sides is parallel and equal in length.

Therefore , XM = 1/5 of XZ

then , XM = 5 cm

XZ = 2 × XM ( The diagonals bisect each other. One pair of opposite sides is parallel and equal in length.)

XZ = 2 × 5 cm

XZ = 10

Therefore. , XZ = 10 cm .
