Answer:
Option (B)
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of PR = 4
RS = 4
QS = 4
For the length of PT,
PT² = RT² + PR² [Since, PT is the diagonal of rectangle PRT]
PT² = QS² + PR² [Since, RT ≅ QS]
PT² = 4² + 7²
PT² = 16 + 49
PT² = 65
Now for the length of PQ,
PQ² = QT² + PT²
PQ² = RS² + PT² [Since, QT ≅ RS]
PQ² = 4² + 65
PQ² = 16 + 65
PQ = √81
PQ = 9
Therefore, length of diagonal PQ is 9 units.
Option (B) will be the answer.
