Point S is between R and T on RT. Use the given information to write an equation in terms of x. Solve the equation. Then find RS and ST. RS = 2x + 8 ST = 4x + 11 RT = 73

RT = 6x + 19 , x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Point S is between R and T on RT and RS = 2x + 8 ST = 4x + 11 then

RT = RS + ST

= 2x + 8 + 4x + 11

rearrange

= 2x + 4x + 8 + 11

= 6x + 19

Given that RT = 73

Substitute into the equation

6x + 19 = 73

collect like terms

6x = 73 - 19

= 54

Divide both sides by 6

x = 54/6

= 9

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

by the trigonometric ratio tangent, tangent equals opposite divided by adjacent.

therefore, tan(50) equals ac/3

multiply each side by 3 to get: ac=3tan(50)

the answer is b.
