Given MTS and SQP, find sq

Given MTS And SQP Find Sq class=

Sagot :

The measure of the side SQ from the given diagram is 19/6

Similar shapes

Similar shapes are shapes that has equal length and equal side measures and angles.

From the given diagram, the measure of the sides TSis congruent to SP and the measure of MS is congruent to SQ.

Using the expression below to determine the value of x

MS/ST = SQ/SP

Given the following parameters

MS =30

ST = 10

SQ = 6x-1

SP =  3 - 2x

Substitute the given parameters into the formula to have:

30/10 = 6x-1/3-2x

Cross multiply

10(6x-1) = 30(3-2x)

Expand

60x - 10 = 90 - 60x

60x + 60x = 90 + 10

120x = 100

x = 10/12

x = 5/6

Determine the measure of SQ

SQ = 6x - 1

SQ = 5(5/6) - 1

SQ = 25/6  - 1

SQ = 19/6

Hence the measure of the side SQ from the given diagram is 19/6
