Question

What is the length of segment SR?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

ST = ST (Common)

RT = TQ (Given)

∠ RTS = ∠ SQT (Both 90°)

So, ∆ RTS ≅ ∆ QTS (By SAS congruency rule)

So, RS = QS (By C.P.C.T.)

=> 2x + 8 = 8x - 4

=> 8 + 4 = 8x - 2x

=> 12 = 6x

=> 12/6 = x

=> 2 = x

SR = 2x + 8 (Given)

=> SR = 2(2) + 8 (Putting the value of x)

=> SR = 4 + 8

=> SR = 12
