ABCD is a parallelogram. Point P on AB divides it in the ratio AP : PB = 3 : 2, and point Q on CD divides it in the ratio CQ : QD = 7 : 3. Let R be the intersection of PQ and AC. Then, find AR:AC.


Can anyone help here?

A square can be used; it's a parallelogram as well.wink

Hi, Melody! Please correct your diagram; CQ = 7     and    QD = 3 

Thanks!smiley

 

AR:AC = 6 / 13 

 

I used 10 cm square and the result is the same as Melody'ssmiley
