Question 461150: PQRS is a rectangle in which PQ =10 CM AND PS =6CM .T IS A POINT ON PQ SUCH THAT RST IS AN ISOSCELES TRIANGLE WHOSE EQUAL SIDES ARE RS AND ST FIND RT Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let W be the point on SR such that |SW| = |PT|. Let x = |SW|. By the given, |SR| = |ST| = 10. Then , or , or
, or x = 8 after a little algebra.
Then , or , or
cm.
