Can someone explain how the answer is d

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the length of ST is calculated using pythagorean theorem:

Where the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides of a right triangle. In this case, the hypotenuse is ST and the other two sides are distances between S and T over the X and Y axis. Those are easily calculated:

Where x is the distance between S and T over X axis and Y distance over Y axis, sx and tx are X coordinates of S and T, sy and ty are Y coordinates of S and T.

Using that formula, you get that y = 17 and x = 8.

Back to the pythagorean theorem, if we put those number in the formula of the pythagorean theorem, we get something like this:

And finally, the correct answer is in fact 353.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
