Geometry simple problem.?

Question

Use the Segment Addition Postulate to find the indicated length.

Find RT

(point=+) +--------------17----------+----------8....

R S T

Answer 1

The length from point R to point S is 17, so RS = 17.

The length from point S to point T is 8, so ST = 8.

The line RT is cut into two parts, one from R to S, and one from S to T. RT = RS + ST.

Substitute the values into the equation:

RT = RS + ST

RT = 17 + 8

RT = 25

Hope that helps!
