Given that RS = 6, ST = 3, and SL = 4, to find NS, we first find QS.

Notice that NQS forms a right triangle with the right andle at Q.

To find QS, we notice that QRS forms a right triangle with the right angle at R.

Note that ST = QR = 3 and RS = 6.

Using pythagoras theorem
[tex]QS^2=QR^2+RS^2=3^2+6^2=9+36=45 \\ \\ QS=\sqrt{45}[/tex]

Note that NQ = SL = 4.

Using pythagoras theorem
[tex]NS^2=NQ^2+QS^2=4^2 + 45=61 \\ \\ NS= \sqrt{61} [/tex]
