<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

Jeo is comparing the price of different boxes of cereal. One box has 16 oz. and costs $3.50. Another costs $3.89 for a 24 oz. bo
velikii [3]

Answer:

The difference in cost, in dollars, per ounce between the two boxes of cereal is $0.06.

Step-by-step explanation:

☆Let's solve using proportion.

☆One box:

\frac{16 \: oz.}{3.50 \: dollars}  =  \frac{1 \: oz.}{x}  \\  \\  \frac{3.50}{16}  =  \frac{16x}{16 }  \\  \\ 0.22 = x

☆Another box:

\frac{24 \: oz.}{3.89 \: dollars}   = \frac{1 \: oz.}{x }  \\  \\  \frac{3.89}{24}  =  \frac{24x}{24}  \\ \\ x = 0.16

☆All we need to do is subtract: 0.22 - 0.16 = 0.06

☆The difference in cost, in dollars, per ounce between the two boxes of cereal is $0.06.
