Question

In triangle str qp and tr are parallel if sq=6 units, qt= 24 units, and the perimeter of the triangle sqp is 20 units, what is the perimeter of triangle str?

Answer 1

We know that QP and TR are parallel. We also know that ST is 30 units (QT + SQ = 24 units + 6 units = 30 units). We also know that PerimiterSQP = 20 units. Therefore, we can conclude that SQ/ST = PerimiterSQP/PerimiterSTR. Plugging in values, we have: 6/30 = 20/PerimiterSTR => PerimiterSTR = 100 units
