Question 954683: Word Problem of Pythagoras' Theorem;
Question: PQRS is a rectangle in which PQ = 9 cm and PS = 6 cm. T is a point on PQ such that PT = 7 cm and RV is the perpendicular from R to ST. Calculate ST and RV.
Please solve this, it's gonna come in exam and it carries 10 marks itself. I tried so hard to solve it but I couldn't. I'd really appreciate it if you guys could solve this! Thanks a lot.

You know that,

Find the line that goes through points T and S.
The perpendicular line would have a slope that is the negative reciprocal,
So the perpendicular line through R would be,
Find the point of intersection (V) using these two lines,
Then,
Now that you have V use the distance formula,
