Answer:

ST = 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ RAS and Δ TES are similar triangles, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is, noting that SR = 21 - ST, thus

\frac{ST}{SR} = \frac{TE}{AR} substitute values

\frac{ST}{21-ST} = \frac{8}{6} ( cross- multiply )

6ST = 8(21 - ST)

6ST = 168 - 8ST ( add 8ST to both sides )

14ST = 168 ( divide both sides by 14 )

ST = 12
