If R is the midpoint of QS, find QS. (2x + 16) and (5x - 17) Brainliest to correct answers. Please no spamming or random answers this is due tmrw thx.

QS = 76

Step-by-step explanation:

Given R is the midpoint of QS , then

RS = QR , that is

5x - 17 = 2x + 16 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

3x - 17 = 16 ( add 17 to both sides )

3x = 33 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 11

Then

QS = QR + RS

     = 2x + 16 + 5x - 17

     = 7x - 1

    = 7(11) - 1

    = 77 - 1

    = 76

45

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
