Question

The triangles are similar. If QR = 4, QP = 2, and TU = 13, find TS. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

QP is the same as TS and PR is the same as SU and QR is the same as TU So, QP/ TS = QR/TU When you cross multiply, TS = (13×2)/4 The answer is 26/4 which is 6.5

Answer 2

Answer:

TS = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In two similar triangles corresponding sides are in the same ratio.

Therefore $\frac{PQ}{TS}=\frac{QR}{TU}$

Given in the question

QR = 4

PQ = 2

TU = 13

Therefore $\frac{2}{TS}=\frac{4}{13}$

TS = 13×2/4 = 26/4 = 6.5

Answer is TS = 6.5
