In the triangle ABC, the length of the line segment SA=3 ft ( 3rd option).

In triangle ABC,

  • SB=10ft
  • BT=9ft
  • CT=2.7ft &
  • ST|| AB

According to the triangle proportionality theory, we know that if a triangle has a line segment parallel to one of its sides, the line segment splits the other sides correspondingly.

Hence,

SA/SB=CT/BT

⇒SA/10=2.7/9

⇒SA=(2.7*10)/9

⇒SA=3

So, the length of SA is 3 ft.

Therefore the 3rd option is correct.
