Answer: 6.1 units

Explanation:

It is given,

QR is a tangent to the circle touching the circle at point Q and the length of RQ = 5.3

The length of the radius of the circle, QP = 3

Since a tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact, therefore,  

∠PQR = 90°

Now referring to the figure attached below, and by using Pythagoras theorem, in ∆ PQR, we get

RP² = RQ² + QP²

⇒ RP² = 5.3² + 3²….. [substituting the given values]

⇒ RP = √[5.3² + 3²]

⇒ RP = √[28.09 + 9]

⇒ RP = √[37.09]

⇒ RP = 6.0901  

⇒ RP = 6.1 …… [rounding off to its nearest tenth]

Thus, the approximate length of the RP is 6.1.

What is the relationship between the soil’s permeability and the amount of groundwater?
dexar [7]

Answer with Explanation:

The amount of groundwater that can be stored will largely depend on the <em>"soil's permeability." </em>A permeable soil means that <u>it is easy for water to pass through the pores.</u> It has<em> </em><em>larger pores that are well-connected to each other</em> thereby allowing water to flow freely. This also allows the water to pass through the rocks, which then <u>increases its </u><u>porosity</u>. This also leads to an easier way to extract the groundwater.
