Answer:
Option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given information: RSTU is a parallelogram, Digonals RT and SU intersect each other at point V, UV=(x-3) and VS=(3x-13).
According to the properties of a parallelogram, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Using the properties of parallelogram we can say that point V divides the diagonal SU in two equal parts, UV and VS.
Subtract x from both sides.
Add 13 on both sides.
Divide both sides by 2.
Therefore, the correct option is C.

For the square with side length n, the diagonal measures:
The sidelength of the square is n, and we want to get the length of the diagonal d.
Notice that the diagonal is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose catheti measure n.
Then we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which says that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the cathetus;
That is the length of the diagonal.
