Answer:  THe correct option is (C) 15.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the length of SR in the right-angled triangle SRQ as shown in the figure.

Since RT is perpendicular to the hypotenuse SQ, so triangle RTQ and SRT are also right-angled triangles at angle RTQ and RTS respectively.

Also, RQ = 20 units and TQ = 16 units.

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle RTQ, we have

RQ^2=RT^2+TQ^2\\\\\Rightarrow RT=\sqrt{RQ^2-TQ^2}\\\\\Rightarrow RT=\sqrt{20^2-16^2}\\\\\Rightarrow RT=\sqrt{144}\\\\\Rightarrow RT=12.

Now, since RT is perpendicular to the hypotenuse of ΔRST, so we get

ST\times TQ=RT^2\\\\\Rightarrow RS\times 16=144\\\\\Rightarrow RS=\dfrac{144}{16}\\\\\Rightarrow RS=9.

Again, using Pythagoras theorem in right-angled triangle RST, we get

SR^2=RT^2+ST^2\\\\\Rightarrow SR=\sqrt{144+81}\\\\\Rightarrow SR=\sqrt{225}\\\\\Rightarrow SR=15.

Thus, the length of SR is 15 units.

Option (C) is CORRECT.

If angle ABD is 90 degrees. Select all of the angles that measure 42 degrees.
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Measure of angle 2 and angle 4 is 42°.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

m∠ABC = 42°

m(∠ABD) = 90°

m(∠ABD) = m(∠ABC) + m(∠DBC)

90° = 43° + m(∠DBC)

m(∠DBC) = 90 - 43 = 47°

Since ∠ABC ≅ ∠4 [Vertical angles]

m∠ABC = m∠4 = 42°

Since, m∠3 + m∠4 = 90° [Complimentary angles]

m∠3 + 42° = 90°

m∠3 = 90° - 42°

        = 48°

Since, ∠5 ≅ ∠3 [Vertical angles]

m∠5 = m∠3 = 48°

m∠3 + m∠2 = 90° [given that m∠2 + m∠3 = 90°]

m∠2 + 48° = 90°

m∠2 = 90 - 48 = 42°

m∠3+ m∠4 = 90° [Since, ∠3 and ∠4 are the complimentary angles]

48° + m∠4 = 90°

m∠4 = 90 - 48 = 42°

Therefore, ∠2 and ∠4 measure 42°.

Which rule represents Ro, 180º?
Ksju [112]

Answer: (x, y) = (-x, -y)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you can match the coordinates of points on the triangles and choose the correct answer from there.

The highest point on the triangle, S, has coordinates of (3, 5).

The reflected triangle's point S has coordinates of (-3, -5).

Point Q on the triangle has coordinates of (1, 0)

Point Q on the reflected triangle has coordinates of (-1, 0).

Matching these two points and their reflections to the answers, the only answer that fulfills both points correctly is (x, y) = (-x, -y).
