Answer 3

So when we have two right triangles like this

there's this formula

so for the triangle I'm attaching

\(\sf \dfrac{BC}{AC} = \dfrac{AC}{DC}\)

and

\(\sf \dfrac{BC}{AB} = \dfrac{AB}{DB}\)

and

\(\sf \dfrac{DC}{AD} = \dfrac{AD}{DB}\)

Answer 4

tysm but I got the wrong answer, I must have done something wrong

Answer 5

so for your question, it's the third proportion I wrote

and if we set it up, it would be

\(\sf \dfrac{SV}{ST} = \dfrac{ST}{SU}\)

so can you plug in the numbers they gave you to solve for SV

Answer 8

\(\sf \dfrac{SV}{ST} = \dfrac{ST}{SU}\)

ST = 4
SU = 7

can you solve for SV?

Answer 9

SV= 5.29?

Answer 10

how did you get that?

Answer 11

wait no SV = 2.29 and I got 5.29 bc I solved for ST somehow idk tho

Answer 12

yeah, there you go!

Answer 13

Tysm I really appreciate it

Answer 14

Of course! You just need to remember those proportions I sent you and if it doesn't make much sense, you can try going through this article where they explain it further with examples
