Question
Find the measure of x.
- 10
- 12
- 3
- 4
Hint:
diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
The correct answer is: 3
3
By property of parallelogram, we know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. Hence, from the figure, we can infer that WP = PY
Or, 10-x = 3x – 2 => 12 = 4x => x = 12/4 => x = 3
Bisection means to divide into 2 equal parts in the 1: 1 ratio. diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other but not at right angles. a square is a special case of a parallelogram where the diagonals intersect at 90 degrees.
