Answer 2

22

Explanation:

Let us interpret this problem;

---------------34-------------------

P Q S R T

----- 8 --------

-------- --------- --------

x x x

Let PQ = SQ = SR

Find RT;

QS + SR = 8

Also;

x + x = 8

2x = 8

x = 4

To find RT;

RT = PT - (PQ + QR)

RT = 34 - (4 + 8) = 34 - 12 = 22
