in \\( \triangle p q r, \angle p q r = 90 ^ { \circ } \\), and \\( q s \\) is the altitude to \\( p r \\). if \\( p q = 6 \\) and \\( q r = 8 \\), what is the length of \\( q s \\) if \\( p r = 10 \\)?
Step1: Calculate \( \frac{YP}{PZ} \)
Given \( YP = 4 \) and \( PZ = 6 \), then \( \frac{YP}{PZ}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}\approx0.67 \)
Step2: Calculate \( \frac{XY}{XZ} \)
Given \( XY = 8 \) and \( XZ = 12 \), then \( \frac{XY}{XZ}=\frac{8}{12}=\frac{2}{3}\approx0.67 \)
