Question 279779: There are two right triangles that are connected at one corner (that is the photo). I need to find the the side of PQ and round the answer to the nearest hundredth. From one side the corners of a triangle are labeled PQ =? side, QR= 92, RS=78, ST=98. I am not able to draw the picture. Are these triangles similiar also? Hope this is a better explanation. Thank you for your help and patience.

There are two right triangles that are connected at one corner


We have to know which angle of triangle PQR is the right angle.

Is the right angle PQR, QRP, or RPQ????

Also we have to know which angle of right triangle RST 
is right angle.

Is the right angle RST, STR, or SRT???? 

Also where is point T???

Is T a point on PR?  Or is S a point on PR???

Sorry, you have not given us enough information.

Please repost telling us more.
