Question

Can u help me with this

Answer 1

The segment QR is 3 units long.

Explanation:

Step 1:

The length of the segment PQ
`= 5x`,

The length of the segment QR
`=3x`,

The length of the segment PR
`= 5x + 3x = 8x.`

The length of the segment PR = 8 units.

Step 2:

So, we have
`8x = 8.`

We can calculate the value of x.

`8x =8,x = (8)/(8) =1.`

So the value of x is 1.

Step 3:

The length of segment QR is 3x long, so

The length of segment QR
`= 3x = 3(1) =3.`

Therefore the segment QR is 3 units long.
