Question

If UT = 31.6, what is the measure of US?

Answer 1

Given:

UT = 31.5

To find:

The measure of US.

Solution:

In the figure, WV bisects UT.

⇒ US = ST -------------- (1)

UT = US + ST

31.6 = US + US (using (1))

31.6 = 2 US

Divide by 2 on both sides.

`$(31.6)/(2) =(2US)/(2)`

`15.8=US`

The measure of US is 15.8.
