Question

What is the length of side RQ?

4 4/5 units

7 1/2 units

20 units

13 1/3 units

Answer 1

I would look at it as two different shapes. You have a square and a triangle next to each other. The dimensions of the square are 4 x 4 leaving 4 x 2 for the triangle (because 6 - 4 = 2). Use Pythagorean theorem to solve for RQ (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

Answer 2

so 6^2+4^2=c^2?

Answer 3

Yes.

Answer 4

B?

Answer 5

are teh shapes spose to be similar? if so you can do a proportoin

Answer 6

Yes they are similar. I was trying to do a proportion but couldn't figure it out.

Answer 7

10 is to 8 as 6 is to RQ

\[\frac{10}{8}=\frac{6}{RQ}\]

Answer 8

alright

Answer 9

solving for RQ gives us: 6(.8)

Answer 10

not understanding that part. are you saying cross multiply or the answer is 6.8?

Answer 11

the only the pythag would get you on this is the value of K, which is not RQ

Answer 12

im saying cross multiply

Answer 13

so 48=10RQ?

Answer 14

so far as good, no just divide off that 10

Answer 15

yes so 4.8 A

Answer 16

yes

Answer 17

Thanks!

Answer 18
