Question

SU is a midsegment of AQRT.

If OR = z-40 and SU = z - 49, what is the value of z?

I just need one example to understand this because forgot how to do it

Answer 1

z = 58

Explanation:

Since SU is a midsegment of QRT, the length of SU is one-half the length of RQ.

`(1)/(2) (z - 40) = z - 49`

`z - 40 = 2z - 98`

`z = 58`
