To find the length of $ TV $ in triangle $ RST $, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem. Given: - $ SV = 12 $ (length of segment $ SV $) - $ VR = 30 $ (length of segment $ VR $) Since $ SV $ and $ VR $ are both segments forming right angles with the sides of triangle $ RST $ and because the right angle is at $ S $, we can view this as two right triangles, $ SVR $ and $ SVT $, where $ SV $ is a common side. To find $ RV $: Using the Pythagorean theorem in triangle $ SVR $: $$ SV^2 + VR^2 = SR^2 $$ Substituting the known lengths: $$ 12^2 + 30^2 = SR^2 $$ $$ 144 + 900 = SR^2 $$ $$ SR^2 = 1044 $$ $$ SR = \sqrt{1044} \approx 32.31 $$ Next, in triangle $ SVT $, we apply the Pythagorean theorem again. We are trying to find $ TV $: $$ SV^2 + ST^2 = VT^2 $$ Since we already have $ SV $ and $ SR $: Using the Pythagorean theorem in triangle $ RST $: $$ RT^2 = RS^2 + ST^2 $$ We need to find $ RT $ or $ TV $. $ RT $ is the hypotenuse which we will denote as more. Instead of going through $ SR $, we can rearrange the previous formulations using the hypotenuse defined by $ T $ to find $ TV $: $ RV^2 + SV^2 = TV^2 $ Using the two segments we already have: $ 30^2 + 12^2 = TV^2 $ Calculating: $$ 900 + 144 = TV^2 $$ $$ TV^2 = 1044 $$ $$ TV = \sqrt{1044} = 32.31 $$ So, the length of $ TV $ is approximately: **$ 32.31 $** Please enter this value in the box.

I apologize for any confusion in my previous calculations. Let’s go through the problem step by step to ensure we find the correct length of $ TV $.

We have a right triangle $ RST $ with:

$ SV = 12 $ (the segment from $ S $ to $ V $)
$ VR = 30 $ (the segment from $ V $ to $ R $)

Since $ S $ is the right angle, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem to triangle $ SVR $ to find $ SR $:

\[ SR^2 = SV^2 + VR^2 \] \[ SR^2 = 12^2 + 30^2 \] \[ SR^2 = 144 + 900 \] \[ SR^2 = 1044 \] \[ SR = \sqrt{1044} \] \[ SR = \sqrt{4 \times 261} = 2\sqrt{261} \]

Now, we would like to find the length of $ TV $. In triangle $ SVT $: Using the Pythagorean theorem again:

\[ ST^2 = SV^2 + VT^2 \]

But, we want $ TV $:

To find $ TV $, we realize that $ TV $ can be calculated using triangle $ RTV $:

For triangle $ RTV $, if we treat $ RT $ as the hypotenuse and realize that $ SV $ forms the opposite angles, let’s setup:

\[ RV^2 + SV^2 = RT^2 \]

We directly find $ TV $ using: \[ TV^2 = TS^2 + SV^2 \]

However, without knowing $ ST $, let's calculate it via what we have with triangle $ RST $: \[ TV^2 = SR^2 + SV^2 \]

Reassessing: Previously, I confused $ RV $. It should have been $ TR $:

The hypotenuse of triangle is $ TR $ i.e $ 30 + 12$ which leads to:

Thus, we will ultimately calculate $ TV $:

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

First, let’s set $ TR $:

Let’s validate:

If we put:

The total hypotenuse Triangle $ RV $ calculation:

We don’t have $ S $, but we need, thus following, \[ TV^2 = 30^2 + 12^2 \]

\[ TV^2 = 900 + 144 = 1044 \]

Final calculations are confirmed $ TV = \sqrt(1044) \approx 32.31 $.
