Answer: b = 17
Step-by-step explanation: The figure shows a triangle which upon closer observation is actually two triangles placed one inside the other. We have triangle QTR (the larger one) and triangle PTS (the smaller one).
The line PS is parallel to line QR, so in effect what we have here are two similar triangles. The ratios of similarity can be derived as
Line QT/line TR = line PT/line TS OR
Line QT/line QR = line PT/line PS.
With these ratios in mind we can now write the following expressions from the similar triangles;
QT = 2b + (2b - 17) and
TR = 16 + 8
TR = 24
Hence,
2b/16 = 2b + (2b - 17)/24
(That is, PT/TS = QT/TR)
2b/16 = (4b - 17)/24
By cross multiplication we now have,
2b(24) = 16(4b - 17)
By expanding the brackets we now have
48b = 64b - 272
By collecting like terms, 64b now moves to the left side of the equation and becomes negative
48b - 64b = -272
-16b = -272
Divide both sides of the equation by -16
b = 17
**Note** A negative number divided by another negative number yields a positive answer.
Answer: line: To represent straight objects in geometry, mathematicians introduced the concept of line or straight line
rays: vector, a ray is a vector from a point to a point. In geometry, a ray is usually taken as a half-infinite line (also known as a half-line) with one of the two points and taken to be at infinity
segments: The term line segment refers to a section of a line bounded by two distinct points. It is comprised of all points on the line between its endpoints. A closed line segment includes both endpoints, whereas an open line segment excludes both endpoints.
