Triangle R Q S is cut by line segment T U. Line segment T U goes from side Q R to side Q S. The length of Q T is 32, the length of T R is 36, the length of Q U is 40, and the length of U S is 45.
Use the converse of the side-splitter theorem to determine if T R is parallel to R S. Which statement is true?
Line segment TU is parallel to line segment RS because StartFraction 32 Over 36 EndFraction = StartFraction 40 Over 45 EndFraction.
Line segment TU is not parallel to line segment RS because StartFraction 32 Over 36 EndFraction not-equals StartFraction 40 Over 45 EndFraction.
Line segment TU is parallel to line segment RS because StartFraction 32 Over 45 EndFraction = StartFraction 40 Over 36 EndFraction.
Line segment TU is not parallel to line segment RS because StartFraction 32 Over 45 EndFraction not-equals StartFraction 40 Over 36 EndFraction.
