Given

[tex]QS\perp US[/tex]

similar triangles = QRS and STU

Find

Missing statement .

Explanation

As we have given

[tex]QS\perp US[/tex]

similar triangles QRS and STU

by property of similar triangle we have ,

[tex]\frac{QR}{RS}=\frac{ST}{TU}[/tex]

Slope of QS * Slope of US =

[tex]\frac{QR}{RS}\times\frac{-TU}{ST}[/tex]

now , substituting the property of equality

Slope of QS * Slope of US =

[tex]\frac{ST}{TU}\times-\frac{TU}{ST}[/tex]

So,

Slope of QS * Slope of US = -1

Final Answer

Missing statement =

[tex]Slope\text{ of QS }\times Slope\text{ of US =}\frac{\text{ST}}{\text{ }TU}\times\frac{-TU}{ST}[/tex]

Correct option is A.
