anonymous · Answer

x = 13, RZ = 48, and RT = 24
x = 11, RZ = 16, and RT = 32
x = 13, RZ = 24, and RT = 48
x = 15, RZ = 24, and RT = 48

if Z is the midpoint of RT..... does that mean  RZ is longer than ZT ?

anonymous · Answer

Idk . Thats why i posted the question i dont know the answer .

jdoe0001 · Answer

well... what do you think? does RZ look longer or shorter than ZT segment?

anonymous · Answer

No its in the middle

anonymous · Answer

Z is in the middle so how can any side be longer

jdoe0001 · Answer

right.... so both sides are equal, notice that  RZ  is  4x-28 long   and ZT is 24 long

since RZ = ZT we could also say that

4x - 28 = 24

if you solve for "x", that'd show what "x"
