Answer:

112

Explanation:

you have to find the length of QT and ST, then QS will be the hypotenuse (opposite of the right angle) of the triangle QTS.

use the formula:

c²=a²+b²

a²=c²-b²

1. to find QT:

QT²=53²-45²

QT²=2,809-2,025

QT²=784

QT=28

2.to find ST:

ST²=117²-45²

ST²=13,689-2,025

ST²=11,664

ST=108

3. find QS:

QS²=28²+108²

QS²=784+11,664

QS²=12,448

QS=111.570605
