In the diagram below of triangle OPQ, R is the midpoint of OQ and S is
the midpoint of PQ. If RS = 18 – 4x, and OP = -9 + 7x, what is the
measure of OP?
R
S
O

Sagot :

Answer:

Measurement of OP = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

R is mid point of OQ

S is mid point of PQ

RS = 18 – 4x

OP = -9 + 7x

Find:

Measurement of OP

Computation:

R is mid point of OQ and S is mid point of PQ;

By using mid point theorem

[1/2][OP] = RS

So,

[1/2][-9 + 7x] = [18 - 4x]

[-9 + 7x] = 2[18 - 4x]

-9 + 7x = 36 - 8x

7x + 8x = 36 + 9

15x = 45

x = 45 / 15

x = 3

So,

OP = -9 + 7x

OP = -9 + 7(3)

Measurement of OP = 12
