Question

Quadrilateral RSTU is a rectangle. If US = x+1 and TS = 7, what is the length of UT?

Answer 1

but what does that have to do with segment UT?

Answer 2

i know that.
i have to find UT.

Answer 3

Oh wow, sorry @NY,NY I did not read the problem correctly lol. One sec.

Answer 4

lol its okay.

Answer 5

will you agree that UZ=ZS=ZT?

Answer 6

waiiiiit
you said TS was a diagonal?
or no?

Answer 7

@NY,NY yeah, by mistake :)

Answer 8

oh okay.
thats okay :).
and yes I agree.

Answer 9

which is also equal to ZR.

Answer 10

wait a second, are you supposed to give a range of values, a single value, or a variable expression?

Answer 11

a single value.

Answer 12

I don't think you have enough information for UT... is that all you were given?

Answer 13

yeah.
i feel there's something wrong with the question.
idk.

Answer 14

I can give you two expressions for the length of UT, but I'm pretty sure they cancel out.
For the first one, apply the pythagorean theorem.

Answer 15

nevermind. The second one is indeed the same as the first.

Answer 16

okays so,
x^2 - 48 = UT^2
?

Answer 17

yeah basically, that's all the information you are given

Answer 18

okay thank youu.
