5. PS / PT = SR / TQ OR PS / SR = PT / TQ
I DID THIS ONE:
PS=60 PT = 48 SR = X TQ = 36
60 / 48 = X / 36
48 * X = 60 * 36
48 X = 2160
48 / 48 X = 2160 / 48
X = 45

asked 03/13/23Look at the figure shown below:

Nora is writing statements as shown below to prove that if segment ST is parallel to segment RQ, then x = 45:
| StatementReason | ||
| 1. | Segment ST is parallel to segment RQ. | Given |
| 2. | Angle QRS is congruent to angle TSP. | Corresponding angles formed by parallel lines and their transversal are congruent. |
| 3. | Angle SPT is congruent to angle RPQ. | Reflexive property of angles |
| 4. | Triangle SPT is similar to triangle RPQ. | Angle-Angle Similarity Postulate |
| 5. | ? | Corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion. |
Which equation can she use as statement 5?
