Respuesta :
If P is the midpoint of ST then ST = 2SP
4x = 2(x + 4)
4x = 2x + 8
4x - 2x = 8
2x = 8
x = 8/2
x = 4
ST = 4x = 4*4 = 16 units
4x = 2(x + 4)
4x = 2x + 8
4x - 2x = 8
2x = 8
x = 8/2
x = 4
ST = 4x = 4*4 = 16 units
Answer:
ST = 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : P is the midpoint of ST, SP = x + 4, and ST = 4x,
To find : Determine the length of ST.
Solution : We have given P is mid point of ST.
It mean P divide the ST in to two equal parts .
So, SP = PT .
We can say
ST = 2 SP .
Plug the given values SP = x + 4, and ST = 4x,
4x = 2 ( x +4).
4x = 2x + 8.
On subtracting both sides by 2x
4x -2x = 8.
2x = 8
On dividing both sides by 2
x = 4.
ST = 4 * 4 = 16.
Therefore, ST = 16.
