<u>ANSWER</u>
a. 12 units
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
According to the altitude theorem, RT which is the altitude, is equal to the geometric mean of TQ and TS, the segments created by the foot of the altitude on the hypotenuse.
This implies that:
From the diagram, TQ=16 and TS=9.
We substitute these values and solve for x.
Therefore x is 12 units.
The correct answer is A
42 runners total
of 42 (14) dropped out in first half.
42 - 14 = 28 remaining.
of 28 (16) dropped out in second half.
28 - 16 = 12 runners finished the race.
42 - 14 = 28 remaining.
28 - 16 = 12 runners finished the race.
