Step-by-step explanation:
let RS be X
then ST be 21-X
∆RAS ~ ∆TES (similar)
so,
RA/ET= RS/TS
6/8 = X/21-X
6(21-x)= 8x
126-6x= 8x
126= 14x
9= x
RS= 9
TS= 21-x
TS= 21-9= 12

Answer:
10.5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given figure:
RA || ET (given)
RT ( the line joining R and T) = 21 units
Angle R = Angle T (opposite angles to the parallel)
AE (the line joining || lines R and T)
Angle A = Angle E (opposite angles to the parallel)
Angle RSA = Angle EST ( Vertically opposite angles)
R = T (proved above)
RSA = EST (proved above)
A = E (proved above)
Thus, ∆RSA =~ ∆EST by AAA criteria.
Thus, RS = ST
RT = 21
ST = 21/2
ST = RS = 10.5
