Answer:

ST = 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

As RA is parallel to ET, the angle in R is equal to the angle in T, and the angle in A is equal to the angle in E, so the triangle RAS is similar to the triangle SET.

If RT is 21 units, we have that RS + ST = 21 -> RS = 21 - ST

Using a rule of three with the sides of the triangle (as they are proportional), we have:

RS / ST = AR / ET

(21 - ST) / ST = 6 / 8

4 * (21 - ST) = 3*ST

84 - 4*ST = 3*ST

7*ST = 84

ST = 12 units

Jay and Ted observed two points, P and Q, on a number line.
kobusy [5.1K]
Start at 0 and move to point P. To do this, we simply move left 1/8 of a unit. Similarly, we move 1/8 of a unit to go from 0 to point Q

So the distance from P to 0 is the same as the distance from Q to 0.

Therefore, the absolute values are the same

Answer: Choice A) Jay is correct because each point is 1/8 a unit away from 0
