Question

Parallelogram P Q S R is shown. The length of P Q is (2 x + 5) centimeters and the length of R S is (4 x + 1) centimeters. In parallelogram PQSR, what is PQ? 2 cm 5 cm 6 cm 9 cm

Answer 1

9cm

Explanation:

I just took the review and I got a 100%

Answer 2

9cm

Explanation:

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel (congruent). This shows that

PQ = RS

2x+5 = 4x+1

2x-4x = 1-5

-2x = -4

x = -4/-2

x = 2

Get PQ

PQ = 2x+5

PQ = 2(2)+5

PQ = 4+5

PQ = 9cm
