The complete question is
"In triangle NQL, point S is the centroid, NS = (x + 10) feet, and SR = (x + 3) feet. Triangle N Q L has centroid S. Lines are drawn from each point to the midpoint of the opposite side to form line segments N R, Q M, and L P. The length of line segment N S is x + 10 and the length of line segment S R is x + 3.
What is RS?
4 feet, 7 feet, 10 feet, 14 feet"
Answer:
The Length of RS would be 7 ft. so the correct option is B.
What is a line segment?
A line segment is a straight line with finite length, and thus, have to endpoints(points on either ends).
Given:
NS = (x + 10) ft
SR = (x + 3) ft
Based on the centroid theorem, the centroid, S will divide the median, line segment NR, into NS and SR,
NS : SR = 2 : 1.
Therefore:
NS = 2(SR)
x + 10 = 2(x + 3)
Solve for x
x + 10 = 2x + 6
x - 2x = -10 + 6
-x = -4
x = 4
SR = (x + 3) ft (SR is same as RS)
substitute the value of x
SR = (4 + 3) ft
SR = RS = 7 ft
Hence, The Length of RS would be 7 ft. so the correct option is B.
