Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 and 4 are 6 away
4 and 13 are 9 away
Thus it is 6/9 or 2/3
The median triangle is a line segment that connects the vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side. Therefore, in the given, we can say that RS = QS
Equating RS and QS, we will find the value of X
RS = QS
5x-11 = 2x+7
5x-2x = 7+11 ⇒ combine like terms
3x = 18 ⇒ divide both sides by 3 to get the x value
x = 6
Find the value of RS and QS, in this, we will show that two are equal
5(6)-11 = 2(6)+7
19 = 19 ⇒ correct
Therefore RQ is the sum of RS and QS or simply twice the length of either segment
RQ = 19 x 2 = 19 + 19 = 38 (D)
