Answer:

RT = 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

ΔSRQ is right triangle.

m∠R = 90°

An altitude has been constructed from point T to side SQ.

m∠RTQ = 90°

By applying geometric mean theorem in triangle SRQ,

\frac{\text{RT}}{\text{ST}}=\frac{\text{TQ}}{\text{RT}}

\frac{x}{9}=\frac{16}{x}

x² = 16 × 9

x² = 144

x = √144

x = 12

Therefore, length of altitude RT is 12 units.

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (-2,-2) and (-4,9).
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>( - 3 \: , \:  \frac{7}{2} )</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

M = (  \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \:  \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-2,-2) and (-4,9).

The midpoint is

M = ( \frac{ - 2 - 4}{2}  \:  , \:  \frac{ - 2 + 9}{2} ) \\  = ( -  \frac{6}{2}  \: , \:  \frac{7}{2} )

We have the final answer as

( - 3 \: , \:  \frac{7}{2} )

Hope this helps you

when the sum of an unknown number z and twenty two is divided by the same unknown number,the quotient is twelve what is the unkn
Anarel [89]

The unknown number . . . . .  (z)

The sum of the unknown number and 22 . . . . .  (z + 22)

The sum of the unknown number and 22
divided by the same unknown number . . . . . . .  (z + 22) / z

You said that quotient is 12.              (z + 22) / z  =  12

Multiply each side by 'z' :                  (z + 22)       =  12 z

Subtract 'z' from each side:                      22        =  11 z

Divide each side by  11 :                           2         =      z .
