Question 1104973: Ok, I'm not sure if it's even possible to explain this sufficiently without showing a picture of the problem, but I have two parallel lines: 8 and P. The top of line P is connected to the bottom of line 8 by line 2+5, and the bottom of P is connected to the top of 8 by 4+Q. 2 and 4 are on line P's side of the intersection, and 5 and Q are on 8's side. Triangle P 2 4 is smaller than triangle 8 5 Q. My answer for Q is 10, and for P is 16/5. Am I correct? Thanks for your time!
