What is the length of RS.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Natali [406]3 years ago
5 0

Consider, in ΔRPQ,

RP = R (Radius of larger circle)

PQ = r (radius of smaller circle)

We have to find, RQ, by Pythagoras theorem,

RP² = PQ²+RQ²

R² = r²+RQ²

RQ² = R²-r²

RQ = √(R²-r²

Now, as RQ & QS both are tangents of the smaller circle, their lengths must be equal. so, RS = 2 × RQ

RS = 2√(R²-r²)

The ratio of the area of ∆ABC to the area of ∆DEF is; 1:100.

<h3>What is the ratio of the area of ∆ABC to the area of ∆DEF?</h3>

Since, a major criterion for similarity and congruence of triangles is that the ratio of corresponding sides are equal.

On this note, since the task content suggest that the ratio of the perimeters is; 1:10, it follows from conventional mathematics that the ratio of their areas is given as; 1²:10²; 1:100.

Rewrite 16 in exponent form using 2 as the base.
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

16=24

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to write any number in exponential form is to do the prime factorization of the given number. As we can see that 2 is multiplied 4 times so by using exponent we can write 16 as 24
