Take a look at the image below.
The answer to this question is the mean increases by 3.
Answer: here
Step-by-step explanation:riangles QST and RST are similar. Therefore, the following is true:
q s
--- = ---- This results in 10q=rs.
r 10
Also, since RST is a right triangle, 4^2 + s^2 = q^2.
Since QST is also a right triangle, s^2 + 10^2 = r^2.
4 s
Also: ---- = ----- which leads to s^2 = 40
s 10
Because of this, 4^2 + s^2 = q^2 becomes 16 + 40 = 56 = q^2
Then q = sqrt(56) = sqrt(4)*sqrt(14) = 2*sqrt(14) (answer)
hope it helps
