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? 4 StartRoot 5 EndRoot 2 StartRoot 14 EndRoot 20 StartRoot 5 EndRoot

*The diagram is in the attachment

q = 2√14

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the value of q, apply the leg rule/geometric mean theorem, which is:

Hypotenuse/leg = leg/part

Hypotenuse = 10 + 4 = 14

Leg = q

Part = 4

Plug in the values into the equation:

14/q = q/4

Cross multiply

q*q = 14*4

q² = 56

q = √56

q = √(4*14)

q = 2√14

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3

you,

mrb

yes. we do proportions in probabilities.
