In the given diagram, if AP = 15 cm, AQ = 24 cm and PB + QC = 26 cm, find QC – PB, given PQ || BC.

QC - PB = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given PQ is parallel to BC then it divides the sides proportionally, that is

= = = , then

= ( cross- multiply )

8PB = 5QC → *

Given PB + QC = 26 , then

PB = 26 - QC

Substitute into *

8(26 - QC) = 5QC ← distribute left side

208 - 8QC = 5QC ( subtract 5QC from both sides )

208 - 13QC = 0 ( subtract 208 from both sides )

- 13QC = - 208 ( divide both sides by - 13 )

QC = 16

Thus PB = 26 - QC = 26 - 16 = 10

QC - PB = 16 - 10 = 6

answer: i'm not going to give you the answer, but some hints to work it out.

step-by-step explanation: so, if there is a straight line that means that the line angle is 180°. so we subtract the 2 angle measures provided, (15 and 38) from 180. so the answer is 180 - (38 + 15). (you have to solve the equation)

#15. square

step-by-step explanation:

because quadrilatural (idk how to spell it) means somthing that is not 3d or like, equal sides (or somthing like that   you know what i meanz)

hope this halps!

bai!
