can you draw a picture of the shape

OpenStudy (atomicreaper):

That is all it gave me, hold on i'll see what I can do. |dw:1447343633827:dw| Thats what I got.

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

Wouldn't it be 7 as well?

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

Because PQ and RS bisect each other.. so they're equal.

OpenStudy (atomicreaper):

Thats what I thought. Im trying to figure out where U is.. Like all it gave me was the problem at the top

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

I mean U could be anywhere, but like I said since it is bisected, it would be equal to both sides no matter where you put it.

OpenStudy (atomicreaper):

Ok thanks!!
