Question:

In a ΔRST, Z is a point on side ST and SZ = ZT. If ∠RZS = 90 degree and RS = 10 cm, then what is the value of RT?

Options:

15 cm

10 cm

8 cm

12 cm

Correct Answer:

10 cm

Explanation:

In \(\Delta \)RZS and \(\Delta \)RZT

\(\angle\)RZS = \(\angle\)RZT = 90

SZ = ZT    (Given)

RZ = RZ   (common)

By using SAS criteria of similarity,

\(\Delta \)RZS is congruent to \(\Delta \)RZT

Therefore, RT = 10 cm.
