Answer: the length of the other side is 16.5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle has 2 equal and parallel sides. Each of the 4 angles in a rectangle is 90°. This means that the diagonal of the rectangle divides it into 2 equal right angle triangles and the diagonal represents the hypotenuse of both right triangles.

To determine the length of the other side, x, we would apply Pythagoras theorem. It is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore

17² = x² + 4²

289 = x² + 16

x² = 289 - 16 = 273

x = √273

x = 16.5 units

What is the length of ST? Please explain your answer
Aliun [14]
We know that

If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment. (Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem)

so

ST²=RT*QT

RT=7 in

QT=23+7-----> 30 in

ST²=7*30-----> 210

ST=√210-----> 14.49 in


the answer is

RT=14.49 in

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

if the area is 1/4 that would mean that the sides are equal to 1/2. if you stretch 1/2 out 4 times longer that would be equal to 2. 2 x 2 = 4
