Answer:
The value of x is 15 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given triangle RSQ and ΔRST it is given that
∠RTS ≅ ∠SRQ ≅ 90°
∠RSQ is common in two triangles Δ RSQ and Δ RST.
Therefore two angles are equal so both the triangles are common.
From this property we opposite sides of the corresponding angles will be in the same ratio.
SR/SQ = ST/SR
x/(9 + 16) = 9/x
By cross multiplication on each side of the equation
x² = 25×9 = 225
x = √225 = 15
Therefore measurement of x is 15 units.
