Answer 1

From the diagram we know that:

`\begin{gathered} TR=RV \\ TS=\text{VS} \end{gathered}`

Therefore:

`6x-3=39`

Solving for x we get:

`\begin{gathered} 6x=42 \\ x=7 \end{gathered}`

Then:

`\begin{gathered} TV=TR+RV=2RV=2(2x+5)=2(2\cdot7+5) \\ TV=2(19)=38 \end{gathered}`

Answer: 38 units.
