Question 1021538: In rectangle qrst diagonals qs and rt kntersect at e. If qe=3X-10 and qs=5X-8 find the length of the full qs Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since the diagonal of a parallelogram bisect each other (which a rectangle is), it follows that 2(3x-10) = 5x - 8, or 6x - 20 = 5x-8, or x = 12.
Therefore the length of qs itself is 5*12 - 8 = 52.
