Question

Point S is on line segment RT. Given RS 5 and ST 8, determine the length RT.

Answer 1

The measure of RT is equivalent to 13 units

Addition postulate

A line is defined as the shortest distance between two points. If Point S is on line segment RT, hence;

RS + ST = RT

Given the following parameters

RS = 5 and

ST = 8

Substitute

RT = RS + ST

RT = 5 + 8

RT = 13

Hence the measure of RT is equivalent to 13 units
