Question

In given Fig, HELP is a parallelogram. (Lengths are in cms). Given that OE = 4 and HL is 5 more than PE? Find OH.

Answer 1

If OE = 4 then OP also is 4. .......(The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.)

So, PE = 8,

Therefore, HL = 8 + 5 = 13

Hence, OH = `1/2 xx 13` = 6.5 cms.
