Question

Point d is between points r and s on rs find the length of rs if rd =7 and ds = 12

Answer 1

The length of RS is 19.

Because RD+DS = RS

7 + 12 = 19

Answer 2

The length of rs is 19 units.

Explanation:

It is given that rd =7 units and ds = 12 units.

The point d is between points r and s on rs. It means the length of line segment rs is equal to the sum of length of lines segments rd and ds.

`rs=rd+ds`

Substitute rd=7 and ds=12 in the above equation.

`rs=7+12`

`rs=19`

Therefore the length of rs is 19 units.
