If T is the midpoint of SU what are ST, TU and SU?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

segment addition postulate ST + TU = SU

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

T is the midpoint, so ST = TU

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

therefore, 9x = 5x + 28 ---> x = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

4x = 28 so x = ???

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then you use that to find ST and TU

OpenStudy (anonymous):

TU would be 63, correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and so would ST

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct, they are both equal to 63

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, ST = 63, TU = 63 and SU = 126

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

Thank you! :)
