The lengths of RS and ST are 20 and 1 respectively

<h3>How to solve for RS and ST?</h3>

The given parameters are:

RS= 2x+10, ST= x−4, RT= 21

This means that

RT = RS + ST

So, we have:

2x + 10 + x - 4 = 21

Evaluate the like terms

3x = 15

Divide by 3

x = 5

Substitute x = 5 in RS= 2x+10 and ST= x−4

RS= 2*5+10 = 20

ST= 5−4 = 1

Hence, the lengths of RS and ST are 20 and 1 respectively
