D. 158
Transcribed Image Text:The image depicts a geometric diagram with a triangle PQR, where point S is on line QR. The line PQ extends beyond Q, forming an angle at S.
Key points in the diagram:
- Points are labeled as P, Q, R, and S.
- Line segment PQ is extended in both directions, as indicated by arrows on either end.
- There is a right angle marked at point S between segments PS and RS.
- The segments PR and QR have measurements annotated as 79 and 99 respectively.
This diagram illustrates a right triangle with the perpendicular PS drawn from point P to line QR, forming a right angle at S. The measurements can be used to discuss properties such as triangle similarity, trigonometry applications, or vector analysis in advanced math topics.
