At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

As the area of square region PRTV is 81 then \(RT^2=81\) --> \(RT=9\);
The area of square region \(PQXW=QX^2=RS^2\) and the area of square region \(XSTU=ST^2=(9-RS)^2\);
Given: \(\frac{(9-RS)^2}{RS^2}=\frac{1}{4}\) --> \(\frac{9-RS}{RS}=\frac{1}{2}\) --> \(RS=6\).
Answer: C.
Or: as the ratio of the areas of squares is the square of the ratio of their sides then \(\frac{ST}{RS}=\frac{9-RS}{RS}=\frac{1}{2}\) --> \(RS=6\).
