Answer:
VT = 13 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals are congruent and bisect each other, that is
RT = US , substitute values
5x - 14 = 2x + 10 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
3x - 14 = 10 ( add 14 to both sides )
3x = 24 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 8
Thus
RT = 5x - 14 = 5(8) - 14 = 40 - 14 = 26
VT = 0.5 × RT = 0.5 × 26 = 13
