The lines are reciprocal because they cross to form an X. Also 4/5 is the reciprocal of 5/4
Answer:
PS = 84.5 , x = 43.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Since RQ is congruent to PS, PS is 2x - 3
SR: 4x + 1
Extra at the bottom: 4
4x + 1 + 4 = 180
4x + 5 = 180
- 5 - 5
4x = 175
/4 /4
x = 43.75
Plug in for PS
2 (43.75) - 3
87.5 - 3
84.5
