Since segments ST and PQ are parallel, triangles SRT and PRQ are similar due to the AAA postulate. In general, the ratio between the corresponding sides of two similar triangles is constant; therefore,

Furthermore,

Finding PR and RS,

Then,


Solving for PS,

Solve the quadratic equation in terms of PS, as shown below
![\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow PS^2+16PS-132=0 \\ \Rightarrow PS=\frac{-16\pm\sqrt[]{16^2-4(-132)}}{2}=\frac{-16\pm28}{2} \\ \Rightarrow PS=-22,6 \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20%5CRightarrow%20PS%5E2%2B16PS-132%3D0%20%5C%5C%20%5CRightarrow%20PS%3D%5Cfrac%7B-16%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B16%5E2-4%28-132%29%7D%7D%7B2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B-16%5Cpm28%7D%7B2%7D%20%5C%5C%20%5CRightarrow%20PS%3D-22%2C6%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
And PS is a segment; therefore, it has to be positive.
Hence, the answer is PS=6
Answer:
domain: all real numbers
range: {y element R : y>=2}
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 44 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Using proportion,
33 gallons = 3hours
X = 4hours
Cross multiply
3 × X = 33 × 4
3X = 132
Divide bothside by 3
3x/3 =132/3
X = 44
Therefore the helicopter uses 44gallons for 4 hours.
