Question

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF FOOD ANSWER MY QUESTION!

Given that a quadrilateral PQRS is a parallelogram, PQ and RS are opposite sides, PQ = 7x + 16, RS = 5x +28, and QR = 67 which of the following statements are correct? More than one answer may be correct.

Answer 1

PQ = 58

Perimeter = 250

Opposite sides are congruent

Explanation:

PQ = 58:

Because PQRS is a parallelogram, PQ equals RS.

1. Set up the equation and solve

7x + 16 = 5x + 28

2x = 12

x = 6

2. Plug in x into PQ

7(6) + 16 = 58

Perimeter = 250:

PQ = RS and QR = SP

1. Add the sides

58 + 58 + 67 + 67 = 250

Opposite sides are congruent:
