Use the figure to the right to find the value of PT. T is the midpoint of PQ.
1 answer:
Answer:
22
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that T is the midpoint of line PQ, segments PT = 5x + 2, and TQ = 7x - 6 that are formed would be equidistant or congruent. PT = TQ.
Therefore:
Let's find the value of x
Rearrange the equation, so that the terms having x would be on your left, while those without x would be on your right.
Divide both sides by -2
Plug in the value of x into the expression, 5x + 2, to find PT.
PT = 5(4) + 2 = 22.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
8^2+5^2=c^2
64+25=c^2
89=c^2
c= <-- this is the length of the rectangle at the bottom
2^2+()^2=c^2
4+89=c^2
c= <-- length of dotted line (diagonal)
