I don’t have the picture, so I can’t be sure how the points are arranged. With only "RP = 12" and "DR = 16" there are multiple possibilities. A few common cases:
- If P, R, D are collinear and R is between P and D, then DP = RP + RD = 12 + 16 = 28.
- If P, R, D are collinear and D is between P and R, then DP = |RP − RD| = |12 − 16| = 4.
- If they are vertices of a triangle (not collinear) and no other information (angles, right angle, parallels, similar triangles, etc.) is given, DP cannot be determined uniquely from just those two side lengths.
Please upload the diagram or describe which point is where and any right angles or other marks; then I can give the exact value of DP.
