Triangle Q S R is shown. Angle Q S R is a right angle. Altitude s is drawn from point S to point T on side Q R to form a right angle. Side Q S is labeled r and side W R is labeled q. The length of Q T is 10 and the length of R T is 4. What is the value of q?

step-by-step explanation:

because i said it is

ab: 2 n83b8eb7ebi. 8e yen in

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
