Point T is on line segment \overline{SU} SU . Given ST=2x+6,ST=2x+6, TU=4,TU=4, and SU=4x,SU=4x, determine the numerical length of \overline{ST}. ST

Respuesta :

Answer: The numerical length of  [tex]\overline{SU}[/tex] is 20 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Point T is on line segment [tex]\overline{SU}[/tex] .

i.e. [tex]\overline{SU}=\overline{ST}+\overline{TU}[/tex]             (i)

Since , it is given that ST=2x+6,TU=4, and SU=4x

Substitute these values in (i), we get

[tex]4x= 2x+6 + 4\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4x-2x=10\\\\\Rightarrow\ 2x=10\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=5[/tex]

Now, the numerical length of [tex]\overline{SU}= 4(5)=20\ units[/tex]

Hence, the  numerical length of  [tex]\overline{SU}[/tex] is 20 units.
