Question

WILL FAN & GIVE MEDAL.

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.

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

Answer 4

Using that the two triangles PST and PQR are similar triangles, you can say that the ratio of the two side lengths PQ and PR is equal to the ratio of PS and PT. So (2x + 28)/(35 + 60) = 28/35, (2x +28) = 28(95)/35, 2x + 28 = 76, 2x = 48, x = 24.

Answer 5

which one do you think it is?
