Triangle Q R S is cut by line segment V W. Point V is the midpoint of side Q S and point W is the midpoint of side R S. The leng

th of Q R is 3 a + 6, the length of V W is 2 a minus 2, and the length of V S is 2 a.

Answer:

20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that triangle QRS and triangle VWS are similar triangles.

Similar triangles are triangles in which the ratio of their corresponding sides are in the same proportion.

V is the midpoint of QS.

VS = 2a, QS = 2 * VS = 2(2a) = 4a

Since both triangles are similar triangles, hence:

\begin{gathered}\frac{VS}{QS}=\frac{VW}{QR}\\\\\frac{2a}{4a} =\frac{2a-2}{3a+6} \\\\\frac{2a-2}{3a+6} =\frac{1}{2} \\\\2(2a-2)=3a+6\\\\4a-4=3a+6\\\\a=10\ units\\\\VS=2a=2(10)=20\ units\end{gathered}

QS

VS

=

QR

VW

4a

2a

=

3a+6

2a−2

3a+6

2a−2

=

2

1

2(2a−2)=3a+6

4a−4=3a+6

a=10 units

VS=2a=2(10)=20 units

In the figure below which term best describes point X?
Dmitrij [34]

The answer is B. centroid, which is the intersection of three medians of the triangle's sides.

Let's look into other answers as well:

A. Circumcenter

It is the point where three perpendicular bisector meet, and is not correct as we can see there is no indication of right angles.

The first photo is what a circumcenter looks like:

C. Incenter

It is the point where the angle bisectors of the triangles meet, which is not indicated in the photo as well.

The second photo is what a incenter looks like:

D. Orthocenter

It is a point where the altitudes of a triangle intersect, and is not indicated by the figure.

The second photo is what a Orthocenter looks like:

Therefore the answer is B. Centroid.

Hope it helps!

BaLLatris [955]
I think this is right. The answer is 12.

24 times 9 equals 216, which is the area of the room floor.

Then I did 6 times 3 equals 18.

Then I divided 216 by 18 to get 12.
