Answer:
- The value of PR is 21 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>We know that:</u>
- 3(PQ + QT + TP) = PR + RS + SP
- PQ = 7 ft.
- QT = 4 ft
- RS = 12 ft.
<u>Work:</u>
- 3(PQ + QT + TP) = PR + RS + SP
- => 3(7 + 4 + TP) = PR + 12 + SP
- => 21 + 12 + 3TP = PR + 12 + SP
- => 21 + 3TP = PR + SP
- => 21 + SP = PR + SP [3TP = SP]
- => 21 = PR
Hence, <u>the value of PR is 21 ft.</u>
