Which proportionality statement is true?
QR/RP=QS/SP
QS/RS=PS/RS
RP/SP=RQ/SQ
QS/RS=RS/PS
I think this answer is D?

/ means division? or ratio?

nope
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
think again @Calcmathlete :)
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
hint RS is the "lower leg" of triangle PSR and QS is the "lower leg" of triangle RSQ
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
PS is the shorter leg of triangle PSR and RS is the shorter leg of triangle RSQ

I still abide by my answer :) Don't see my error.
I learned it this way:

Are those both denominators, then?
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
PR is the hypotenuse of triangle PSR and RQ is the hypotenuse of RSQ
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The point where the lines meet would be the geometric means and the two segments of the triangle are the extremes no?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
guys I'm confused.
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
wait. yeah it's D. read the order of choices wrong
