Question

VenPoint T is on line segment SU.SU = 5x, TU = 2xST = 4x - 3determine the numericallength of TU

Answer 1

The diagram of the line segment, SU is shown below.

Looking at the diagram, we can see that

ST + TU = SU

This means that

4x - 3 + 2x = 5x

4x + 2x - 5x = 3

x = 3

Substituting x = 3 into Tu = 2x,

TU = 2 * 3 = 6

The numerical length of TU is 6
