Answer 1

Answer/Step-by-step Explanation:

When calculating the length of a segment on a number line, the absolute value of the difference between one point on the numberline, and another point is what we're looking for.

1. Length of RS = |-5 - (-2)| = |-5 + 2| = |-3|

RS = 3

2. Length of RT = |-5 - 2| = |-7|

RS = 7

3. Length of ST = |-2 - 2| = |-4|

ST = 4

4. Length of RU = |-5 - 8| = |-13|

RU = 13

5. Given that the following coordinates:

P = 3

Q = 8

R = 14

5. PQ = |3 - 8| = |-5| = 5

6. QR = |8 - 14| = |-6| = 6

7. PR = |3 - 14| = |-11| = 11

Given that points A, B, C, and D are collinear, and AB = x, BC = 3x, CD = 4x - 13

8. If AC = 24,

BC can be calculated as follows:

AB + BC = AC

$x + 3x = 24$

Solve for x

$4x = 24$

Divide both sides by 4

$x = 6$

Thus,, BC = 3x = 3(6) = 18

BC = 18

9. If BC = 15, BD can be calculated as follows:

Find the value of x first

BC = 3x

15 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

5 = x

x = 5.

BD = $3x + (4x - 13)$

Plug in the value of x

BD = $3(5) + (4(5) - 13) = 15 + (20 - 13)$

BD = $15 + 7 = 22$

BD = 22

10. m<PTR = 80° (taking the reading at the top from 0°)

11. m<PTQ = 45°

12. m<QTS = 128 - 45 = 83°

13. Luis read m<QTR wrongly, what he measured was the whole of <PTR.

According to the angle addition theorem, m<QTR = 80 - 45 = 35°.
