Question

In triangle RST, RT = 4, ST = 8, and TX bisects < RTS.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\dfrac{TX}{XR}=\dfrac{ST}{RT}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle RST, TX bisects angle RTS.

Angle bisector theorem says that an angle bisector of a triangle will divide the opposite side into two segments that are proportional to the other two sides of the triangle.

Hence, TX divides side RS in the ratio:

$\dfrac{TX}{XR}=\dfrac{ST}{RT}$

Therefore, option B is true.

Answer 2

Answer:

B is the correct answer!

TX/XR=ST/RT
