In the figure below, segment RS is the altitude of the hypotenuse of triangle PQR. Which proportionality statement is true? RP/SP=RQ/SQ QR/RP=QS/SP QP/RP=RP/SP QS/RS=PS/RS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

triangle RSP is similar to triangle QRP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that right?

OpenStudy (hang254):

it goes by segments of equal proportion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we can write QP/RP=RP/SP then C is right

OpenStudy (hang254):

oh, i see. Thank you!
