In ∆ RST, line PQ || side ST, R-P-S and R-Q-T, RP = 4, PS = 6, RQ = 3. Find QT.

Answer»

\textbf{Given:}

\text{In $\<klux>TRIANGLE</klux>$RST, PQ$\parallel$ST, RP=4, PS=6, RQ=3}

\textbf{To find:}

\text{Length of QT}

\textbf{Solution:}

\textbf{Basic proportionality theorem(Thales theorem):}

\text{If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a}

\text{triangle then it cuts other two sides proportionally.}

\text{In $\triangle$RST, by Thales theorem}

\dfrac{RP}{PS}=\dfrac{RQ}{QT}

\dfrac{4}{6}=\dfrac{3}{QT}

\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{3}{QT}

\implies\,QT=\dfrac{9}{2}

\implies\bf\,QT=4.5\,text{cm}
