Respuesta :

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] In\: \triangle PQR, \: \angle PQR = 90\degree\: \&\: QS\perp PR [/tex]

Therefore, by geometric mean property:

[tex] QS^2 = PS \times SR[/tex]

[tex] 6^2 = 9 \times x[/tex]

[tex] 36 = 9 \times x[/tex]

[tex] \frac{36}{9}= x[/tex]

[tex] 4 = x[/tex]
