Question

Find the measurement of the segment.

PR=18.8PR=18.8 mm, RS=13.7RS=13.7 mm
Line segment with points plotted in the following order from left to right: P, R, S.
PS = ?
Select one:
a. 32.7 mm
b. 5.1 mm
c. 32.5 mm
d. 32.4 mm

Answer 1

32.5 mm

Explanation:

Given : PR=18.8

RS=13.7

To Find :Measurement of PS

Solution:

P, R and S are the points plotted in the following order from left to right: P, R, S

Length of PR = 18.8 mm

Length of RS = 13.7 mm

PS = PR+RS

So,
`PS = 18.8+13.7`

So,
`PS = 32.5`

Hence the measurement of the segment PS is 32.5 mm

Answer 2

PS = PR+RS
PS = 18.8+13.7 = 32.5
