Answer:
PQ = 1 ft
QR = 4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
From the picture attached,
Segment PR has been divided into two parts by a point Q.
Length of segment PR = 5 feet
Length of segment PQ = (15x - 2) ft
Length of segment QR = (5x + 3) ft
Since, PR = PQ + QR
5 = (15x - 2) + (5x + 3)
5 = 20x + 1
20x = 4
x = [tex]\frac{4}{20}[/tex]
x = 0.2
PQ = 15x - 2
= 15(0.2) - 2
= 3 - 2
= 1 ft
QR = 5x + 3
= 5(0.2) + 3
= 1 + 3
= 4 ft
