Question

Find MQ in parallelogram LMNQ .

Answer 1

Answer:

MQ = 16.4

By the Parallelogram Diagonals Theorem , MP = PQ

So MQ = 2 · MP

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelogram Diagonals Theorem

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, i.e. they divide each other into two equal parts.

P is the point of intersection of the diagonals.

Therefore, MP = PQ and LP = PN

If MP = 8.2, then PQ = 8.2

⇒ MQ = 8.2 + 8.2 = 16.4
