Answer:

8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since S is the midpoint of RT,

RS+ ST= RT

RS= ST

2RS= RT

Substituting the given information,

2(2x +4)= 8x

Expand:

2(2x) +2(4)= 8x

4x +8= 8x

Bringing x terms to one side of the equation:

8x -4x= 8

Simplify:

4x= 8

Divide both sides by 4:

x= 8 ÷4

x= 2

= RS

= 2x +4

= 2(2) +4

= 4 +4

= 8 units

A triangle has side lengths of 7 in., 9 in., and 11 in. Determine whether this is a right triangle and why.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Not a right triangle. See below for my reasoning.

Step-by-step explanation:

If this is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides will equal the square of the longest side: 7^2 + 9^2 = 11^2 => 49 + 81 = 121 But this is false.

12. Find the measure of each interior angle of triangle QRT.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

$\angle QRT=125.6\°$

$\angle RTQ=6.4\°$

$\angle TQR=48\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to remember that, by definition, the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent interior angles.

In this case we can idenfity that the angle $17x$ is an exterior angle of the triangle QRT. Then:
