R is tangent to circle P at point Q.

Geography
2 answers:
NARA [144]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Australia is west of Fiji true or false
inysia [295]
Both Australia and Fiji are located to the South of the Equator, and quite close to each other. Fiji is located more to the North than New Zealand, but it is, just like New Zealand, to the west of Australia, so the statement that Australia is to the West of Fiji is false!
