Question

Point S lies between points R and T on .


If RT is 10 centimeters long, what is ST?

2 centimeters

4 centimeters

6 centimeters

8 centimeters

Answer 1

Answer:

the value of  line ST is 6 centimeters long

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached image in conjunction with the question is shown in the file below.

We can see from the RT segment that the equation given can be expressed as:

$\mathbf{2x+3x = 10}$

so; if we solve for x ; we have ;

$\mathbf{5x= 10}$

divide both sides by 5 ; we have:

$\mathbf{\dfrac{5x}{5}= \dfrac{10}{5}}$

$\mathbf{x=2}$

However ; the value of ST is represent by the information:

$\mathbf{ ST = 3x}$

replcaing the value for x; we have :

$\mathbf{ ST = 3*2}$

$\mathbf{ ST = 6}$

Thus, the value of  line ST is 6 centimeters long
