Answer:
The value of the side PS is 26 approx.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question we have two right triangles. Triangle PQR and Triangle PQS.
Where S is some point on the line segment QR.
Given:
PR = 20
SR = 11
QS = 5
We know that QR = QS + SR
QR = 11 + 5
QR = 16
Now triangle PQR has one unknown side PQ which in its base.
Finding PQ:
Using Pythagoras theorem for the right angled triangle PQR.
PR² = PQ² + QR²
PQ = √(PR² - QR²)
PQ = √(20²+16²)
PQ = √656
PQ = 4√41
Now for right angled triangle PQS, PS is unknown which is actually the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.
Finding PS:
Using Pythagoras theorem, we have:
PS² = PQ² + QS²
PS² = 656 + 25
PS² = 681
PS = 26.09
PS = 26
Answer:
11 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the level of ground level be g
On first day, amount of snow melted by 3 inches
So, level of ground melted= (g- 3) inches
Next day, amount of snow melted by 8 inches
So, level of ground level melted = (g- 3-8 )inches
Hence, total change in the ground level = ( g- 11) inches
Hence, amount of snow on ground level melted by 11 inches
Hence, the correct answer is 11 inches
