@ganeshie8  can you help me?

anonymous · Answer

There is more information in that problem that does not show up in the question you are asking. It would be nice to know that line MT is parallel to line RT as well as any additional information I may not be seeing?

elisaneedshelp · Answer

You just included all the info

elisaneedshelp · Answer

actually its NR parallel to MT

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

because NR parallel to MT, we can show that the two triangles are similar

which means the proportion below is formed

PN/PM = PR/PT

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

plug in the known info and solve for PT

once you find PT, you can use it to find RT
