1. **Problem 1: Find the length of segment QV given TQ = 40 units in a diamond-shaped quadrilateral with perpendicular diagonals.**
2. The diagonals of a rhombus (diamond shape) are perpendicular and bisect each other.
3. Since TQ = 40 units, and R is the intersection of diagonals, TQ is twice TR, so $TR = \frac{40}{2} = 20$ units.
4. Because the diagonals bisect each other, QR = TR = 20 units.
5. The segment QV is the sum of QR and RV. Since RV = TR (because diagonals bisect), $RV = 20$ units.
6. Therefore, $QV = QR + RV = 20 + 20 = 40$ units.
7. **Answer: 40 units.**
8. **Problem 2: Will lines p and m eventually intersect?**
9. Lines p and m are parallel lines in the same plane (coplanar) and do not intersect.
10. Kevin says they will intersect, but this is incorrect because parallel lines never intersect.
11. **Answer: No, because they are parallel.**
