Question

Triangle P R Q is shown. The length of side P R is 5 n. The length of side R Q is 32 + n. Angles R P Q and P Q R are congruent. What is the length of PR?

Answer 1

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Triangle P R Q, if  angles R P Q and P Q R are congruent, this means that two of the sides of the triangle a re also congruent (Isosceles triangle).

We can say then that length of side PR is equal to that of RQ i.e PR = RQ

Given

PR = 5n

RQ = 32+n

Required

Length of PR

Since the two sides are equal i.e PR = RQ

5n = 32+n

5n - n = 32

4n = 32

n = 32/8

n = 4

Get PR;

Since PR = 5n

PR = 5(4)

PR = 20

Hence the length of PR is 20.
