<h3>Answer: PR = 24</h3>

Explanation:

OQ = 10 is the radius, and so is segment RO. Both are the same length as they are the radii of the same circle. Triangle ORP has a leg of RO = 10 and a hypotenuse of PO = 26. The unknown side is PR = x.

Use the pythagorean theorem. We can use this theorem because the tangent formed (at point R) creates a 90 degree angle.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(PR)^2 + (RO)^2 = (PO)^2

x^2 + 10^2 = 26^2

x^2 + 100 = 676

x^2 = 676 - 100

x^2 = 576

x = sqrt(576) ... apply square root

x = 24

Construct an equation that has n = 6 as its solution. Use n on both sides of the equation.

nevsk [136]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Determine any equation where n = 6

$n = 6$

Add n to both sides

$n + n = 6 + n$

$2n = 6 + n$ ----- This is 1 equation

$n = 6$

Multiply both sides by n

$n * n = 6 * n$

$n^2 = 6n$ ----- This is another

$n = 6$

Add 5n to both sides

$n + 5n = 6 + 5n$

$6n = 6 + 5n$ ---- This is another

Subtract 10 from both sides

$6n - 10 = 6 - 10 + 5n$

$6n - 10 = -4 + 5n$

$6n - 10 = 5n - 4$ --- This is another

You can have as many equations as possible

Answer:

4 cups of sugar require 14 cups of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{7}{8}\ cup\ flour = \frac{1}{4}\ cup\ sugar$

Required

Determine the cups of flour for 4 cups of sugar

First, we need to determine the unit rate for 1 cup of sugar.

This is done by multiplying both sides by 4

$4 * \frac{7}{8}\ cup\ flour = \frac{1}{4}\ cup\ sugar * 4$

$\frac{7}{2}\ cup\ flour = 1\ cup\ sugar$

Next, we determine cup of flour for 4 cups of sugar.

This is done by multiplying both sides by 4

$4 * \frac{7}{2}\ cup\ flour = 1\ cup\ sugar * 4$

$2 * 7\ cup\ flour = 4\ cup\ sugar$

$14\ cup\ flour = 4\ cup\ sugar$

Hence;4 cups of sugar require 14 cups of sugar
