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

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

sas (side angle side)

aa(angle angle)

sss(side side side)

sas you have to find two sides with an angle in between

aa you find two angles because it will always add up to 180

sss find all sides

step-by-step explanation:

x= 3^y
