Answer:

PR = 180 cm

Explanation:

Given PQ : QR = 7 : 3 = 7x : 3x ( x is a multiplier )

PQ - QR = 72, substitute values

7x - 3x = 72

4x = 72 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 18

Thus

PR = PQ + QR = 7x + 3x = 10x = 10 × 18 = 180 cm

Answer:

180

Explanation:

PQ:QR= 7:3

PQ-QR=72

  • 7x- 3x= 72
  • 4x= 72
  • x= 72/4
  • x=18
  • 7x= 126, 3x= 3*18= 54

PQ= 126 cm, QR= 54 cm

PR= PQ+QR= 126+54= 180 cm
