Im just confused as to where the S goes

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

The S was actually the point of intersection of the altitude from P and QR.

aLRIGHT SO s IS p

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

No no See, I drew a perpendicular from P on QR and that perpendicular intersected QR at S.

So To solve just do 6.5^2+12^2=x^2
