Triangle s r q is shown. angle s r q is a right angle. an altitude is drawn from point r to point t on side s q to form a right angle. the length of s t is 9 and the length of t q is 16. the length of s r is x. what is the value of x? 12 units 15 units 20 units 24 units

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that ΔSRQ is a right angle triangle, ∠SRQ is right angle.

RT is altitude on side SQ, ST=9, TQ=16 and SR=x.

In ΔSRQ and ΔSTR,

          (Reflexive property)

          (Right angle)

By AA property of similarity,

Corresponding parts of similar triangles are proportional.

Substitute the given values.

On cross multiplication we get

Taking square root on both sides.

The value of x is 15. Therefore, the correct option is B.

0.32
