<h3>Answer: QS is 37 units long</h3>

=========================================

Explanation:

PN = 24 and NR = 14 are pieces of the chord PR. The two pieces multiply to some value. At the same time, the other two pieces QN = 21 and NS = 2x-4 also multiply to that same value. In short, the chord pieces multiply to the same number. This is known as the intersecting chord theorem.

PN*NR = QN*NS

24*14 = 21*(2x-4)

336 = 42x-84

336+84 = 42x-84+84 .... add 84 to both sides

420 = 42x

42x = 420

42x/42 = 420/42 ...... divide both sides by 42

x = 10

We know that x = 10 so we can use it to find the length of NS

NS = 2x-4

NS = 2*10-4

NS = 20-4

NS = 16

Therefore,

QS = QN + NS

QS = 21 + 16

QS = 37

--------

note: as a check,

PN*NR = QN*NS

24*14 = 21*16

336 = 336

we get a true equation, so we have the proper values

Un obrero gana $ 80 por hora. Si puede trabajar hasta 12 horas por día ¿Cuánto es el máximo que puede ganar en un mes si labora
Lostsunrise [7]
19,200$
Sabemos que gana 80$ a la hora. Podríamos escribirlo como 80h (h representa las horas que trabaja)
Trabaja 12 horas por día y 5 días a la semana. Eso sería 60 horas a la semana. En un mes hay 4 semanas entonces si trabaja 60 horas a la semana, en 4 semanas trabaja 240 horas. En un mes trabaja 240 horas. 80h donde h=240. 80(240)= 19,200

The world population is increasing exponentially. Do you think that the trend will continue forever? Explain why or why not.
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Human population, now over 7 billion, cannot continue to grow indefinitely. There are limits to the life-sustaining resources earth can provide us. In other words, there is a carrying capacity for human life on our planet. Carrying capacity is the maximum number of a species an environment can support indefinitely.

It is projected that the world's population will continue to grow and will reach nearly 10 billion by 2050. While in other regions growth will slow significantly, in Sub-Saharan Africa, the population is projected to double by 2050, an expansion of nearly 10 times relative to 1960, from 227 million to 2.2 billion.
