Shaun Mata · Answer 1

Calculate x first.

MP = PN

3x-4 = x+4

2x = 8

x = 4 units

Calculate MS

MS = 2x + 2 = 10 units

Then MS=2 SQ

10 = 2SQ

SQ = 5 units

The final answer, SQ is B. 5 units.

Jerry Kramer · Answer 2

First, we need to calculate for x. Since,

MP = PN

Thus,

3x-4 = x+4

2x = 8

x = 4

Next, we calculate for MS

MS = 2x + 2 = 10

Since, MS = 2SQ

10 = 2SQ

Then,

SQ = 5 units

Therefore, the correct answer is B.
