The length of the line segment SR is 15 units.
<h3>How to find the length of a line segment?</h3>In Δ SRQ as seen in the attached image, we see that;
∠SRQ is a right angle
SQ is the hypotenuse
RT ⊥ SQ
Thus, by triangular rules, we know that;
(RQ)² = TQ × SQ
RQ = 20 units and TQ = 16 units
Thus;
(20)² = 16 × SQ
400 = 16 × SQ
SQ = 400/16
SQ = 25 units
By using Pythagoras theorem in Δ SRQ, we have;
(SR)² + (RQ)² = (SQ)²
RQ = 20 units and SQ = 25 units
Thus;
(SR)² + (20)² = (25)²
(SR)² + 400 = 625
(SR)² = 225
SR = √225
SR = 15 units
The length of the line segment SR is 15 units.
