<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

Triangle ABC , m∠A=45° and c = 16, find b.
zmey [24]

Using the cosine function:

\begin{gathered} \cos (\theta)=\frac{_{\text{ }}adjacent}{_{\text{ }}hypotenuse} \\ so\colon \\ \cos (45)=\frac{b}{16} \end{gathered}

Solve for b:

\begin{gathered} b=16\cdot\cos (45) \\ b=8\sqrt[]{2} \end{gathered}

A muffin recipe calls for 2/5 tablespoons of vanilla extract for 6 muffins. Arthur is making 18 muffins. How much vanilla extrac
GuDViN [60]
2/5 tablespoons of vanilla extract ... 6 muffins
x tablespoons of vanilla extract = ? ... 18 muffins

If you would like to know how much vanilla extract does he need, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x * 6 = 18 * 2/5
x * 6 = 36/5    /6
x = 36/5 / 6
x = 6/5 = 1 1/5

Result: Arthur will need 1 1/5 tablespoons of vanilla extract for 18 muffins.
