Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
since U is the midpoint of QT, QT = 2(QU)
similarly, QS = 2 (QR)
because QR is parallel to QS and QU is parallel to QT, triangle QUR is similar to triangle QTS. therefore, the scaling factor between QT/QU and QS/QR is equal to the scaling factor between RU and ST.
therefore,
ST = 2(RU)
36 = 2(RU)
18 =RU
The answer, is 2 1/9. subtract 1 7/7 from 3 1/2, and you'll get 2 1/2
(hope this helps)
