1) To better visualize it let's draw that bisected angle

According to the Bisector theorem, those angles are congruent therefore we can write an equation:

3x-2=9x-26

-2+26=9x-3x

24=6x

6x=24

x=4

m RST = (3x -2) + (9x -26)

m RST = 3(4) -2 +9(4) -26

m RST = 12 -2 +36 -26

m RST = 10 +10

mRST = 20º

SP bisects _RST. Find the following. m please help as soon as possible!!!!! thank-example-1
