Question

In rectangle MNOP, MO = 4x - 10 and NP = 2x + 4.
What is the length of a diagonal?

Answer 1

18

Explanation:

From the rectangle, M O = NP

4x - 10 = 2x+4

4x-2x = 4 + 10

2x = 14

x = 14/2

x = 7

SInce MO and NP are the diagonal

Length of diagonal = 4x- 10

Length of diagonal = 4(7) - 10

Length of diagonal = 28 - 10

Length of diagonal = 18

hence the required length is 18
