Question

What segment is the projection of QT on RT?

A) RS
B) ST
C) UT

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer option is ST.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a figure of a right angled triangle and we are to determine whether which of the given segments is the projection of QT on RT.

We know that:

QT = QS + ST

Therefore, on RT, ST is the projection of QT since it comes mid way from Q to T.

So the correct answer option is ST.

Answer 2

Answer:

ST is the projection of QT on RT

Step-by-step explanation:

To Find : What segment is the projection of QT on RT?

Solution:

We are supposed to find the projection of QT

In the projection

We draw a perpendicular on RT with point Q

So, Perpendicular on RT is QS

So, ST is the projection of QT on RT

So, Option B is true

Hence ST is the projection of QT on RT
