Answer:
x = 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that BE is parallel to CD and intersects the 2 other sides, then it divides the 2 sides in proportion, that is
=
, substitute values
=
( cross- multiply )
8x = 60 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 7.5
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
The parallelograms are similar, so their corresponding sides are proportional. Write a proportion:
12 / 30 = 16 / PQ
Cross multiply:
12 PQ = 480
Solve for PQ:
PQ = 40
