Parallelogram r s t u is shown. diagonals are drawn from point r to point t and from point u to point s and intersect at point v. the length of line segment u v is (x minus 3) meters and the length of line segment v s is (3 x minus 13) meters. quadrilateral rstu is a parallelogram. what must be the value of x? 2 4 5 10

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: RSTU is a parallelogram, Digonals RT and SU intersect each other at point V, UV=(x-3) and VS=(3x-13).

According to the properties of a parallelogram, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Using the properties of parallelogram we can say that point V divides the diagonal SU in two equal parts, UV and VS.

Subtract x from both sides.

Add 13 on both sides.

Divide both sides by 2.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

3. parallelogram

step-by-step explanation:

we turn each of our sides into direction vectors

ab=b-a=(3 - 7, 1 - 0) = (-4, 1)

bc=c-b=(1,6)

cd=d-c=(4,-1)

da=a-d=(-1,-6)

we see how the opposite sides have negated direction vectors; this is characteristic of a parallelogram.   we have congruent sides ab=cd and bc=da with unequal lengths because 1^2+6^2 is different from (-4)^2+1^2.   so it's not a square or a rhombus.  

we check the dot product of direction vectors of adjacent sides.   we have

ab dot bc = -4(1) + 1(6) = 2

that's not zero so the sides are not perpendicular.   we've ruled out rectangle.

the direction vectors indicate two pairs of congruent parallel sides, so we choose parallelogram over trapezoid.
