Question

Please help i don't understand

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. Hence, the two shorter sides created on diagonal RT ("6x-7" and "x+28" ) are equal.

We can set them equal and solve for x:

$6x-7=x+28\\6x-x=28+7\\5x=35\\x=\frac{35}{5}\\x=7$

So the side length of 6x -7 is:

6(7)-7 = 35

and the side length of x + 28 is:

7 + 28 = 35

THus, the diagonal RT = 35 + 35 = 70 units

Answer choice A is right.
