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.
