In the figure below, triangle RPQ is similar to triangle RTS. Triangle R P Q. Side P R is 42 and side P Q is x. Triangle S R T. Side S T is 36 and side R T is 28.

What is the distance between P and Q?
24
42
50
54

The distance between P and Q is 54

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that triangle RPQ is similar to triangle RTS.

Property of similar triangle: The ratio of any pair of corresponding sides is the same.

So, by property :

PR=42

PQ=x

ST=36

RT=28

So,

54=x

Hence the distance between P and Q is 54

54

Step-by-step explanation:

question:

could we have options?

the answer would be 1 1/72

step-by-step explanation:

you can rewrite the equation by separating the parts and then solving individually:

10-9=1

1/8 - 1/9=

find l c d and then combine:

1 1/72
