Answer to Problem 21PSB

  x=2

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 1.5, Problem 21PSB , additional homework tip  1

  l(PQ¯) =x2+3,l(QR¯) =4+2xl(PR¯)=15units

Concept Used:

A line segment is the line with two end-points

Calculation:

Here, we have

  l(PQ¯) =x2+3,l(QR¯) =4+2xl(PR¯)=15unitsl(PQ¯)+l(QR¯)=l(PR¯)x2+3+4+2x=15x2+2x8=0x2+4x2x8=0(x+4)(x2)=0x=4,x=2l(QR¯) =4+2x=4+2(4)=4But length cannot be in negativex4x=2is our required value.

Conclusion:

  x=2
