Question

Point T is on line segment SU. Given TU = 11 and SU = 20, determine the

Answer 1

Answer:

ST = 9

Explanation:

So, we are given the line segment SU and there is a point T somewhere along it.

That means that the line SU now comprises of two segments: ST and TU, so we can write that down as:

ST + TU = SU

We are also given the lengths of some of these segments; SU = 20 and TU = 11. That means that:

ST + 11 = 20

ST = 20 - 11

ST = 9.
