<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

6n-3&gt;-18<br> Solve the inequality
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

<h3>n>-5/2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to isolate it on one side of the equation. Remember that, isolate n on one side of the equation.

6n-3>-18

6n-3+3>-18+3 (Add 3 from both sides.)

-18+3 (Solve.)

-18+3=-15

6n>-15

6n/6>-15/6 (Divide by 6 from both sides.)

-15/6 (Solve.)

-15/6=-5/2

n>-5/2

In conclusion, the correct answer is n>-5/2.
