QP=24 cm

RS=11.25 cm

QS=18.75 cm

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given that TQ bisects <RTP

$therefore$ (1)

consider ΔRQS and ΔRPT

QS||PT,RP and RT are transversals

(alternate angles)(2)

comparing (1) and (2)

and triangle SQT is isocelus

Therefore SQ=ST(sides opposite to equal angles in an isocelus triangle)

Therefore <RQS=<RPT(corresponding angles)

<RSQ=<RTP(corresponding angles)

therefore by AA criterion for similarity

ΔRQS~ΔRPT

According to the property of similar triangles

$RQ/RP=RS/RT=QS/PT$ $9/RP=X/30=QS/50\\9/RP=X/30=(30-X)/50\\X/30=(30-X)/50\\50X=30(30-X)\\50X=900-30X\\50X+30X=900\\80X=900\\X=900/80=11.25\\RS=11.25 cm\\QS=30-X=30-11.25\\QS=18.75 cm\\9/RP=X/30\\9/RP=11.25/30\\9*30/11.25=RP\\RP=24 cm$

A=30
Multiply base times height and then divide by 1/2
(3 3/4)(4)=15
15/(1/2) = 30

When the center of Earth is 3.8 × 105 kilometers from the center of the moon, the force of gravity between Earth and the moon is

kolezko [41]

Given:
r = 3.8x10⁵ km = 3.8x10⁸ m, the distance between the earth and moon,
F = 20.46x10²⁵ N, the gravitational force between the earth and the moon,
G = 6.674x10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²), gravitational constant
M = 5.972x10²⁴ kg, the mass of the earth.

Let m = mass of the moon.
Then
F = (G*M*m)/r^2
or
m = (F*r^2)/(G*M)

In SI units,
m = [20.46×10²⁵ * (3.8×10⁸)²]/[6.674×10⁻¹¹ * 5.972×10²⁴]
= 7.4125×10²⁸ kg

Answer: 7.4125x10²⁸ kg
