Answer:
RS = 2[tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
RS² + RT² = TS² , that is
RS² + 6² = 8²
RS² + 36 = 64 ( subtract 36 from both sides )
RS² = 28 ( take the square root of both sides )
RS = [tex]\sqrt{28}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{4(7)}[/tex] = 2[tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex] ≈ 5.3 ( to 1 dec. place )
