The length of the line segment SR is 15 units.

<h3>How to find the length of a line segment?</h3>

In Δ SRQ as seen in the attached image, we see that;

∠SRQ is a right angle

SQ is the hypotenuse

RT ⊥ SQ

Thus, by triangular rules, we know that;

(RQ)² = TQ × SQ

RQ = 20 units and TQ = 16 units

Thus;

(20)² = 16 × SQ

400 = 16 × SQ

SQ = 400/16

SQ = 25 units

By using Pythagoras theorem in Δ SRQ, we have;

(SR)² + (RQ)² = (SQ)²

RQ = 20 units and SQ = 25 units

Thus;

(SR)² + (20)² = (25)²

(SR)² + 400 = 625

(SR)² = 225

SR = √225

SR = 15 units

The length of the line segment SR is 15 units.

Based on given information for each of the following, which lines cannot be parallel? a m∠2=127°, m∠3=63°\ PLZZSZZZ help :&gt;
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Lines m and n cannot be parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Because angles 2 and 3 are Same Side Interior Angles, they must be supplementary.

2. To check this you add the angles together (127 + 63) and it sums to 190 degrees, not 180

3. Since they don't agree with the laws of parallel lines, the lines that the angles are on can't be parallel

4. Angles 2 and 3 reside on lines m and n so lines m and n cannot be parallel
