Question

2. IQS = 4 and QR is a perpendicular bisector of TS , determined which of the following claims is true

Answer 1

RS=5 TRUE

RS=4 FALSE (it’s 5)

ST=10 FALSE (it’s 8)

QR=4 FALSE (its 3)

Explanation:

First, we have to determine the sides of the triangle.

4x-3=2x+1

4x-2x=1+3

2x=4

x=2

SO, RS=4x-3=4(2)-3=8-3=5

RT=2(x)+1=2(2)+1=5

QR=4²+b²=5². 16+b²=25. b²=25-16. b²=9. b=3

CLAIMS:

RS=5 TRUE

RS=4 FALSE (it’s 5)

ST=10 FALSE (it’s 8)

QR=4 FALSE (its 3)
