If rt is 10 centimeters long, what is st?

2 centimeters

4 centimeters

6 centimeters

8 centimeters

6 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Length of RT is 10 centimeters .

           Length of RS is 2x centimeters .

           Length of ST is 3x centimeters .

To Find : Length of ST .

Solution :

Refer the given figure

we can see that RS +ST = RT

⇒

⇒

⇒

⇒

Thus the value of x is 2

And we are given RS = 2x and ST = 3x

⇒

⇒

Hence , The length of ST is 6 centimeters.

you could deduce the conclusion directly using the facts pertaining to the specific situation.

hope this .
