In the diagram below, RA is parallel to ET, and RT is 21 units long. Find the length of ST

Mathematics

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

During a heavy rainstorm, a city in Florida received 12 1/2 inches of rain in 25 1/2 hours. What is the approximate rainfallrage
alexdok [17]
We need to divide the number of inches by the number of hours.
Let's first convert the two numbers into fractions.

12 1/2 = 25/2

25 1/2 = 51/2

(25/2) / (51/2) = 25/2 * 2/51 = 50/102 = 25/51 = 0.49

The average rainfall was approximately 0.5 inches per hour.
