PLEASE HELP: QRST is a parallelogram. Find the value of x.-example-1

The value of x is 7, and the length of RT is 109.

In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other, which means that point U is the midpoint of both diagonals QT and RS.

Thus, QU and SU are equal halves of the diagonal QS:

QU = 4x + 9

SU = 3x + 16

Because QU and SU are equal halves of diagonal QS, we can equate them:

4x + 9 = 3x + 16

To find the value of x, we can solve this equation:

4x + 9 = 3x + 16

4x - 3x = 16 - 9

x = 7

Therefore, the value of x in the parallelogram QRST is 7.

The probable question may be:

QRST is a parallelogram. Find the value of x.

RT and QS are the diagonals of the parallelogram intersect each other at point U.

QU=4x+9, SU=3x+16, RQ=24, RS=37
