<u>Complete Question</u>
The circle is inscribed in triangle PRT. A circle is inscribed in triangle P R T. Points Q, S, and U of the circle are on the sides of the triangle. Point Q is on side P R, point S is on side R T, and point U is on side P T. The length of R S is 5, the length of P U is 8, and the length of U T is 6. Which statements about the figure are true?
Answer:
(B)TU ≅ TS
(D)The length of line segment PR is 13 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram of the question is drawn for more understanding,
The theorem applied to this problem is that of tangents. All tangents drawn to a circle from the same point are equal.
Therefore:
|PQ|=|PU|=8 Units
|ST|=|UT| =6 Units
|RS|=|RQ|=5 Units
(b)From the above, TU ≅ TS
(d)Line Segment |PR|=|PQ|+|QR|=8+5=`13 Units

The new height of the water is = 9.34 inches (approx)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, a rectangular container measuring 20 inches long by 16 inches wide by 12 inches tall is filled to its brim with water.
Let the new height of water level be x inches.
The volume of the container = (20×16×12) cubic inches
=3840 cubic inches
According to the problem,
3840 - (20×16×x) = 850
⇔3840 -320x = 850
⇔-320x =850-3840
⇔-320 x = -2990
⇔x = 9.34 inches
The new height of the water is = 9.34 inches (approx)

EXPLANATION
The acute angle given in the right triangle is 27°.
The side length adjacent to the 27° angle is 34 units.
The side length we want to find is x units, which is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
We use the cosine ratio to obtain:
Solve for x,
to the nearest hundredth.
