Answer:
The distance between P and Q is 54
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that triangle RPQ is similar to triangle RTS.
Property of similar triangle: The ratio of any pair of corresponding sides is the same.
So, by property : [tex]\frac{RP}{RT}=\frac{PQ}{ST}[/tex]
PR=42
PQ=x
ST=36
RT=28
So,[tex]\frac{42}{28}=\frac{x}{36}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{42 \times 36}{28}=x[/tex]
54=x
Hence the distance between P and Q is 54
