Question

△JKL ≅ △RST, KL = 4p − 12, and ST = −3p + 16. Find p and ST.

Answer 1

Answer:

p = 4

ST = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

△JKL ≅ △RST

=> KL = ST

=> 4p - 12 = -3p + 16

=> 4p + 3p = 16 + 12

=> 7p = 28

=> p = 28/7 = 4

Now, ST = -3p + 16, using the value of p, we get,

ST = -3(4) + 16 = -12 +16 = 4
