Question

What is RU?
A.20
B.30
C.12
D.15

Answer 1

I think the answer to the question is 20

Answer 2

a

Explanation:

The segment RT is a perpendicular bisector and means Δ RSU is isosceles, then the 2 legs are congruent, that is

RS = RU , substitute values

8x = 6x + 5 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

2x = 5 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2.5

Thus

RU = 6x + 5 = 6(2.5) + 5 = 15 + 5 = 20 → a
