Given:

S is between R and T. RS = 2x + 7, RT = 4x , and ST = 28.

To find:

The length of segment RT.

Solution:

It is given that S is between R and T. So, by segment addition property, we get

RS+ST=RT

On substituting the values, we get

(2x+7)+(28)=4x

2x+35=4x

Subtract 2x from both sides.

35=4x-2x

35=2x

Divide both sides by 2.

$\dfrac{35}{2}=x$

x=17.5

Now,

RT=4x

RT=4(17.5)

RT=70

Therefore, the length of segment RT is 70 units.
