Answer:

RS = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

RS² = SU*ST (secant-tangent rule)

Substitute

(x + 6)² = (x + 4 + 5)(x + 4)

(x + 6)(x + 6) = (x + 9)(x + 4)

x(x + 6) +6(x + 6) = x(x + 4) + 9(x + 4)

x² + 6x + 6x + 36 = x² + 4x + 9x + 36

x² + 12x + 36 = x² + 13x + 36

Collect like terms

x² - x² + 12x - 13x = -36 + 36

-x = 0

x = 0

✔️RS = x + 6

Plug in the value of x

RS = 0 + 6

RS = 6

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So basically you need to use the pythagorean thrm. Essentially, the diagonal and the width and length create a triangle, the diagonal being the hypothenuse. So the formula goes as $\sqrt[]{a^{2} +b^{2} }$ . the variable "a" being the length and the variable "b" being the width. So plug it in and there you have your answer!
