Vedclass · Answer

(D) According to the Intercept Theorem (or Thales's Theorem for parallel lines),if three or more parallel lines are intersected by two transversals,then the intercepts made on the transversals are proportional.Therefore,$\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{PQ}{QR}$.Given values are $AB = 5$,$BC = 8$,and $PQ = 6.5$.Substituting these values into the proportion: $\frac{5}{8} = \frac{6.5}{QR}$.Cross-multiplying gives: $5 	imes QR = 8 	imes 6.5$.$5 	imes QR = 52$.$QR = \frac{52}{5} = 10.4$.Thus,the length of $QR$ is $10.4$.

Transversals $t_{1}$ and $t_{2}$ to $l_{1} \parallel l_{2} \parallel l_{3}$ intersect them at $A, B, C$ and $P, Q, R$ respectively. If $AB = 5$,$BC = 8$ and $PQ = 6.5$,find $QR$.
