Question

A) S is the midpoint of segment RT. SR = 3x +1 and ST = 5x -3. What is the measure of

segment RT? (1 point)
14
7
2
18

Answer 1

Answer:14

Explanation:

SR=ST by definition of midpoint

3x+1=5x-3

2x=4

x=2

Since we need to find RT,

SR+ST=RT

3x+1+5x-3=RT

3(2)+1+5(2)-3=RT
6+1+10-3=RT

14=RT
