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

Greatest percent
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Percent change from 15 to 18.

 

You need to divide the numbers, but which one goes on top?

 

You know the number increases from 15 to 18, so the percentage must be greater than 100%.

 

The only way to get a number greater than 100% is to put the larger number on top.

 

Therefore, the answer is 18/15 = 1.2

 

Multiply by 100 to get a %

 

1.2 * 100 = 120%

2. Calculate percentage change

from V1 = 5 to V2 = 8

ans= 60%

overall answer gain of 15 yards and 18 yards
