In triangle $STU$, let $M$ be the midpoint of $\overline{ST},$ and let $N$ be on $\overline{TU}$ such that $\overline{SN}$ is an altitude of triangle $STU$.  If $ST = 8$, $SU = 8$, $TU = 8$, and $\overline{SN}$ and $\overline{UM}$ intersect at $X$, then what is $SX$?

We have X is the centroid as altitude and median are the same thing in an equilateral triangle, therefore:
SXXN=2
Also using pythagorean theroem on STN we get:
SN=43

Therefore:
SN=833
