$ PS = \frac{4}{3} x

Solution:

Given PRQ is a triangle.

ST is a line parallel to RQ.

$PT = x, \ PQ = 3x,  \ SR=\frac{8}{3}x

TQ=PQ-PT

TQ=3x -x=2x

<u>Triangle proportionality theorem,</u>

<em>If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides the two sides proportionally.</em>

$\frac{PS}{SR} =\frac{PT}{TQ}

$\frac{PS}{\frac{8}{3} x} =\frac{x}{2x}

Do cross multiplication, we get

$ PS \times 2x=x \times \frac{8}{3} x

Divide by 2x on both sides, we get

$ PS = \frac{4}{3} x
