Answer:

<h2>B.  ST = 2</h2><h2 />

Step-by-step explanation:

|<--------------  10 --------------------->|

S-------------------T--------------------U

            X-6              2X - 8

FIND: ST

SOLUTION:

ST + TU = SU

x - 6 + 2x - 8 = 10

combine like terms:

3x - x = 10 + 8 + 6

x = 24/3

x = 8

plugin the value of x= 8 into the ST = x - 6

ST = x - 6

ST = 8 - 6

ST = 2

proof:

x - 6 + 2x - 8 = 10

8 - 6 + 2(8) - 8 = 10

10 = 10 ---OK

What is the approximate measure of the length of the tennis court, x?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

78.0 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

pythagoras theorem =

a² + b² = c²

a² + 36² = 85.9²

a² + 1296 = 7378.81

a² = 7378.81 - 1296

a² = 6082.81

a = √6082.81

a = 77.992....

so, a (rounded) = 78 ft :)
