Question

There is a quadrilateral MNPQ in which side MN is congruent to side PQ and side NP is parallel to side MQ. The diagonal MP and the diagonal NQ intersect each other at point R. If MP = 6x − 5, QR = 3x + 1, and RN = 6, what is QN?

Answer 1

Answer: QN = 12

Step-by-step explanation: This quadrilateral is a paralelogram because its 2 opposite sides (NP and MQ) are parallel and the other 2 (MN and PQ) are congruent.

In paralelogram, diagonals bisect each other, which means QR = RN.

If QR = RN:

QR = 6

Then,

QN = QR + RN

QN = 6 + 6

QN = 12

The diagonal QN of quadrilateral MNPQ is QN = 12.
