Answer:

From the given information, the value of a is 3 and the measurement of ∠R is 25°

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we have to find the value of a and the measurement of ∠R. We are given some information already in the problem.

This means that all of the angles and all of the sides of each triangle are going to be equal to each other.

So, knowing this, let;s find the measurement of ∠R first.

All triangles have a total measurement of 180°. We are already given two angle measurements. We are given that the m∠P is 90° because the small box in the triangle represents a right angle and right angles equal 90°. We are also given that the m∠Q is 65° because ∠Q is equal to ∠K so they have the same measurement. Now, let's set up our equation.

65 + 90 + m∠R = 180

Add 65 to 90.

155 + m∠R = 180

Subtract 155 from 180.

m∠R = 25°

So, the measurement of ∠R is 25°.

Now let's find the value of a.

KL is equal to PQ so we will set up an equation where they are equal to each other.

7a - 10 = 11

Add 10 to 11.

7a = 21

Divide 7 by 21.

a = 3

So, the value of a is 3.

Answer: $(x-2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 36\\\\$

Work Shown:

$(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\\\\(x-2)^2 + (y-(-3))^2 = 6^2\\\\(x-2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 36\\\\$

Note that (h,k) = (2,-3) is the center and r = 6 is the radius. The last line is not expanded out using the FOIL rule because its common practice to leave it in $(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\\\\$ form. This form allows the reader to quickly determine the center and radius (rather than have to do a lot of algebraic steps before hand).
