32
4

Answer:

44

Step-by-step explanation:

1) we know that opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent so

4x+28=10x+4

2) subtract 4 on both sides

4x+24=10x

3)subtract 4x on both sides

24=6x

4)divide by 6 on both sides

4=x

5)substitute for x

length of RS =10(4)+4

length of RD=44

The length of the side RS of the parallelogram PQRS is 44.

Given,

  • Side PQ
  • Side QR
  • Side RS

As we know in a parallelogram, the opposite sides are parallel and equal. So, in this case, side PQ is equal to side RS.

Computation:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Side RS}&=\text{Side PQ}\\10\text{X}+4&=4\text{X}+28\\10\text{X}-4\text{X}&=28-4\\6\text{X}&=24\\\text{X}&=4\end{aligned}[/tex]

When the value of X is determined to be 4.

By using the substitution method the value of X will be used in the side RS to determine the length of RS.

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{RS}&=10\text{X}+4\\&=(10\times4)+4\\&=40+4\\&=44\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the length of RS is 44.
