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

The local monsters are currently throwing a bash
sammy [17]

Answer: 55 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would have to subtract 5 from 225 because there are already 5 monsters there.

225-5= 220

Next, you would have to divide 220 by 4 to find the amount of minutes.

220/4= 55
