The diagonals of a rectangle are always congruent.  We have the whole length of OQ to be 2x + 6, and we have only half of NP.  Therefore, OQ = 2(PR).  2x+6=2(3x-5).  2x+6 = 6x-10.  16 = 4x so x = 4.  That means that each diagonal is 14 units long.

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that the diagonals of rectangle nopq intersect at point r.

We know that diagonals of rectangle are always congruent. Line segment oq is diagonal of our given rectangle.

We also know that diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other, so length of diagonal np will be two times pr.

np=2\times pr

np=2(3x-5)

Now, we will equate np with oq to solve for x as:

2(3x-5)=2(x+3

6x-10=2x+6

6x-10+10=2x+6+10

6x=2x+16

6x-2x=2x-2x+16

4x=16

\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{16}{4}

x=4

Therefore, the value of x is 4.

the length of a rectangle is 2 in more than it's w i d t h the area of a rectangle is equal to 1 inch less than three times a pe
Marizza181 [45]
If we let x and y represent length and width, respectively, then we can write equations according to the problem statement.
.. x = y +2
.. xy = 3(2(x +y)) -1

This can be solved a variety of ways. I find a graphing calculator provides an easy solution: (x, y) = (13, 11).

The length of the rectangle is 13 inches.
The width of the rectangle is 11 inches.

______
Just so you're aware, the problem statement is nonsensical. You cannot compare perimeter (inches) to area (square inches). You can compare their numerical values, but the units are different, so there is no direct comparison.
