If PT=u and QS=uā28, what is the value of u?

Answer:
u = 56
Step-by-step explanation:
the midsegment QS is half the length of the third side PT , that is
QS = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] PT ( substitute values )
u - 28 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] u ( multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction )
2u - 56 = u ( subtract u from both sides )
u - 56 = 0 ( add 56 to both sides )
u = 56
