Observe the diagram

  • <Q=<O

So triangle is isosceles

  • QP=OP

So

  • OP=15

Solution:

We know that:

  • QP = 15 units

The triangle is an isosceles triangle because if we look at the triangle carefully, we can tell that OP and QP are equivalent.

This means that:

  • QP = OP

Now, let's substitute the measure of QP in the equation to find the measure of OP.

Substituting the measure of QP.

OP = QP OP = 15 units

Note: OP is same as PO. It does not make a difference.
