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)

If jake can write 450 words in 15 minutes how much can he write in 20 minutes?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

600 words

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many words Jake can write in 20 minutes, you can find how many words he can write in 1 minute and multiply that by 20. Jake can write 30 words in a minute because 450 words divided by 15 minutes is 30. Then, multiply 30 by 20 which is 600.

Two parrelel chords 16 centimeters and 30 centimeters long are 23 centimeters apart. find the length of the radius of the circle
BARSIC [14]
<span>r^2 = 529 - 46x + x^2 + 64
r^2 = x^2 - 46x + 593
replace r^2 with (x^2+ 225)
x^2 + 225 = x^2 - 46x + 593
x^2 - x^2 + 46x = 593 - 225
46x = 368
x = 368/46
x = 8 cm 
Find the radius
r^2 = 8^2 + 225
r^2 = 289
r = 

r = 17 cm is the radius</span>
