Question

In the diagram below of RST. L is a point on RS, and M is a point on RT, such that LM parallel to ST

Answer 1

Answer:

ST is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the similarity formla

RL/LS  = LM/ST

3/12 = 7/x+2

3(x+2)=84

x +2= 84/3

x+2 =  28

x= 28-2

x = 26

ST = x+2

ST = 26+2

ST = 28

Hence the length of ST is 28
