The equation for the RT segment is given by:

[tex] 2x + 3x = 10
[/tex]

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

[tex] 5x = 10
[/tex]

[tex] x = \frac{10}{5}

x = 2
[/tex]

Then, the value of ST is given by:

[tex] ST = 3x
[/tex]

Substituting values we have:

[tex] ST = 3 (2)

ST = 6 cm
[/tex]

Answer:

The value of ST is given by:

[tex] ST = 6 cm
[/tex]

C.) 6 centimeters
