Let one piece be x.

Other piece is 3 times as long = 3x

The sum of both pieces would be equal to 8

x + 3x =  8

4x = 8

x = 8/4

x = 2

The shorter piece is x long.

The shorter piece is 2 feet long.

What is the value of q?
malfutka [58]
Triangles QST and RST are similar.  Therefore, the following is true:

 q       s
--- = ----   This results in 10q=rs.
 r      10

Also, since RST is a right triangle, 4^2 + s^2 = q^2.
Since QST is also a right triangle, s^2 + 10^2 = r^2.  
            4      s
Also:  ---- = -----    which leads to s^2 = 40
            s      10

Because of this, 4^2 + s^2 = q^2 becomes 16 + 40 = 56 = q^2

Then q = sqrt(56) = sqrt(4)*sqrt(14) = 2*sqrt(14) (answer)
