uhhhh sooo help lol

DT intersecting RT at D makes no sense.

DE DE!! SORRY

anonymous · Answer

IN triangle RST, DE interects RT and D and ST at E. TD= 15cm, DR=18cm, TE=20cm and ES= 24cm. DE is parallel to RS

anonymous · Answer

true, because ratio of SE-ET is the same as ratio of DR-DT, and angle T is shared, so triangle DET is similar to triangle RST. They are parallel.

directrix · Answer

15/18 = 20/24. < R is congruent to <R, so the triangles are similar by the SAS Similarity Theorem.

DE is parallel to RS  ---> Yes

because of corresponding congruent angles coming from corresponding angles of the two similar triangles.
