SOLUTION:
PQR is a right-angle triangle.
Therefore, to solve this problem, we will use Pythagoras theorem which is only applicable to right-angle triangles.
Pythagoras theorem is as displayed below:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Where c = hypotenuse of right-angle triangle
Where a and b = other two sides of right-angle triangle
Now we will simply substitute the values from the problem into Pythagoras theorem in order to obtain the length of QR.
c = PQ = 16cm
a = PR = 8cm
b = QR = ?
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
( 8 )^2 + b^2 = ( 16 )^2
64 + b^2 = 256
b^2 = 256 - 64
b^2 = 192
b = square root of ( 192 )
b = 13.8564...
b = 13.86 ( to 2 decimal places )
FINAL ANSWER:
Therefore, the length of QR is 13.86 centimetres to 2 decimal places.
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
We can see that the number in the middle is 36. Hence the median of the data set is 36 the median of a data set is the number placed at the middle of a data after rearrangement either in ascending order or descending order.
Given the dataset 10, 15, 27, 33, 33, 36, 42, 47, 45, 56, 78
Step-by-step explanation:
36
Answer:
11/12
Step-by-step explanation:
I took 1.9 and turned it into a fraction and the fraction is 1 9/12 so if you have 11/12 and 1 9/12 then you bought 10/12 more pounds of banana than grapes
The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as
y = mx + c
Where
m represents slope
c represents y intercept
The equation of the given line is expressed as
3x - 6y = 30
Rearranging it so that it will look like the slope intercept form, it becomes
6y = 3x - 30
Dividing both sides by 6, it becomes
6y/6 = 3x/6 - 30/6
y = x/2 - 5
Looking at the equation, slope, m = 1/2
If two lines are parallel, it means that they have equal slope. This means that the slope of the line parallel to the given line is 1/2
To determine the y intercept, c of the line passing through the point (4, - 9), we would substitute
x = 4, y = - 9 and m = 1/2 into the slope intercept equation. It becomes
- 9 = 1/2 * 4 + c
- 9 = 2 + c
c = - 9 - 2
c = - 11
By substtuting m = 1/2 and c = - 11 into the slope intercept equation, the equation of the line would be
y = x/2 - 11
