Question

GRAM is a parallelogram with diagonals RM and GA. If RP = x+7 , PA = 2x+18 , and GP = 8x , find RM

Answer 1

RM =20

Explanation:

Find the diagram of the parallelogram attached

From the diagram, GP = PA

8x = 2x+18

8x - 2x = 18

6x = 18

x = 18/6

x = 3

Since RM = 2RP

RM = 2(x+7)

RM = 2(3+7)

RM = 2(10)

RM =20

Hence the length of RM is 20
