Question

1. assume that sv is the perpendicular bisector of rt. if vr is congruent to vt, what is the length of sr? explain how you arrived at your answer. 5 points

Explanation:

Step1: Recall property of perpendicular bisector

A point on the perpendicular bisector of a line - segment is equidistant from the endpoints of the line - segment. Since \(SV\) is the perpendicular bisector of \(\overline{RT}\), we know that \(SR = ST\).

Step2: Determine the length of \(ST\)

From the figure, we can see that \(ST = 17\).

Answer:

17
