Answer:

Option 4 is correct. The length of PR is 6.4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure it is noticed that the triangle PQR and triangle MQR.

Let the length of PR be x.

Pythagoras formula

hypotenuse^2=base^2+perpendicular^2

Use pythagoras formula for triangle PQM.

PM^2=QM^2+PQ^2

PM^2=(6)^2+(8)^2

PM^2=36+64

PM^2=100

PM=10

The value of PM is 10. The length of PR is x, so the length of MR is (10-x).

Use pythagoras formula for triangle PQR.

PQ^2=QR^2+PR^2

(8)^2=QR^2+x^2

64-x^2=QR^2                   .....(1)

Use pythagoras formula for triangle MQR.

MQ^2=QR^2+MR^2

(6)^2=QR^2+(10-x)^2

36=QR^2+x^2-20x+100

36-x^2+20x-100=QR^2        .... (2)

From equation (1) and (2) we get

36-x^2+20x-100=64-x^2

20x-64=64

20x=128

x=6.4

Therefore length of PR is 6.4 units and option 4 is correct.

Triangle TRS is similar to triangle TMN. Angle T = 40°, angle R = 60°, and angle S = 80° . What is the measure of angle M
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

60degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

For similar triangles, the angles of their angles are equal to matter the size.

Hence if triangle TRS is similar to triangle TMN, then;

<R = <M and <S = <N

Given that;

<T = 40 degrees

<R = 60degrees

<S = 80 degrees

Since <R = <M, then <M = 60degrees
