Look at the figure shown below. Rita is writing statements as shown to prove that if segment ST is parallel to segment RQ, then x = 24. Statement Reason 1. Segment ST is parallel to segment QR Given 2. Angle QRT is congruent to angle STP Corresponding angles formed by parallel lines and their transversal are congruent. 3. Angle SPT is congruent to angle QPR Reflexive property of angles. 4. Triangle SPT is congruent to triangle QPR Angle-Angle Similarity Postulate 5. ? Corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion. Which equation can she use as statement 5? (2x + 28) : 28 = 60 : 35 (2x + 28) : 28 = 60 : 95 (2x + 28) : 60 = 28 : 95 (2x + 28) : 95 = 28 : 35

@ziko1995 can you help me?

@LilyMysterix There is a typo in step #4 which currently reads: Triangle SPT is congruent to triangle QPR Looking at the given reason, I think that line should read: Triangle SPT is similar to triangle QPR

Directrix (directrix):

Lengths of corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion. So, QP/SP = PR/PT = QR/ST Fill in the measures of those sides and look and the resulting proportions to help you get the one you need for the proof.
