Given MTS and SQP, find sq

Given MTS And SQP Find Sq class=

Sagot :

From the given similar triangles we can conclude that the length of Side SQ is; 4

How to solve similar triangles?

We are given that;

PQ is parallel and congruent to MT.

Now, from the concept of similar triangles , we can say that;

PS/TS = QS/MS

From the given triangle we see that;

PS = 3 - 2x

QS = 6x - 1

MS = 30

TS = 10

Thus;

(3 - 2x)/10 = (6x - 1)/30

Cross multiply to get;

3(3 - 2x) = 6x - 1

9 - 6x = 6x - 1

Rearranging gives;

6x + 6x = 9 + 1

12x = 10

x = 10/12

x = 5/6

Thus;

SQ = 6(5/6) - 1

SQ = 4
