Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a). Ratio of OP and RT = 
= 
= 
b). Since ΔOPQ ~ ΔRTS, their corresponding sides will be proportional.


OQ = 
OQ = 15 cm
c). m∠P = m∠T = 60°
d). m∠Q = m∠S
By applying angle sum theorem in ΔRST,
m∠R + m∠S + m∠T = 180°
26° + m∠S + 60° = 180°
m∠S = 180° - 86°
= 94°
Therefore, m∠Q = m∠S = 94°
Given equation :
.
Strategy 1: We can cross mutiply both sides remove fraction form.
On cross multiplication, we get
x * 7 = 3 * 42
7x = 126.
Dividing both sides by 7, we get
<h3>
x = 18.</h3>
Strategy 2: We can find least common denominator(lcd) of both sides and multiplying both sides by that lcd to get rid denominators from both sides.
LCD of 42 and 7 is 42.
Therefore, multiplying both sides by 42, we get

x = 6 * 3
<h3>x = 18.</h3>
A GCF ( Greatest Common Factor) is one factor that can be split evenly between the two numbers you have chosen.
For example, the greatest common factor of 4 and 8 would be 4 because this is the greatest number that can be split evenly with the numbers I have chosen.
I hope this helped.
