Answer:
PT = 16.3 units
Step-by-step explanation:
From the picture attached,
From ΔPQR and ΔPST,
QR ║ST [Given]
PQ is a transversal line.
Therefore, ∠PST ≅ ∠PQR [Corresponding angles]
∠P ≅ ∠P [Common angle]
ΔPQR ~ ΔPST [By AA property of similarity of two triangles]
Therefore, by the property of similarity, corresponding sides of the similar triangles will be proportional.
PT =
PT = 16.3 units
