Question

In the segment below, QV = 23. QT = 8. TR = RS = SV.

Answer 1

RS = 5

QS = 18

TS = 10

TV = 15

Explanation:

Given QV = 23 and QT = 8 and TR = RS = SV

now, we subtract the length of QT from the whole line, QV

23 - 8 = 15 then we divide this by 3 because TR = RS = SV so there must be 3 equal pieces

15 ÷ 3 = 5

RS = 5

QS = QT + TR + RS so

QS = 8 + 5 + 5

QS = 18

TS = TR + RS so

TS = 5 + 5 and

TV = TR + RS + SV

TV = 15
