Question

Find the measure of of RA.

Answer 1

RA = 24

Explanation:

Since the triangle is isosceles ( 2 equal sides ) , then LU is a perpendicular bisector , so

AU = RU , that is

4r = 18 - 2r ( add 2r to both sides )

6r = 18 ( divide both sides by 6 )

r = 3

Then

RA = 18 - 2r + 4r = 18 + 2r = 18 + 2(3) = 18 + 6 = 24
