Applying the definition of a perpendicular bisector, the length of segment PS is 12 units.

<h3>What is the Perpendicular Bisector?</h3>

The perpendicular bisector can be described as a line segment that bisects another line segment into two equal halves, while at the point of bisection, the angle formed are right angles.

Since NP is a perpendicular bisector of RS, it divides RS into two equal halves, RP = PS.

RP = 12 units, therefore, PS = 12 units.

Hermina cut a 10" by 15" piece of cardboard down the diagonal

vladimir2022 [97]

When you cut along the diagonal, a right triangle is formed where the hypotenuse is the diagonal and the legs are the length and width of the rectangle (10 and 15 in this case)
Now use the pythagorean theorem to solve
10^2+15^2=325=c^2
c= approx 18.02775=length of the diagonal
