explanation: i dont know im just good at maths

Answer 2

Answer:

15.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by looking at triangle ORQ. Since RQ is tangent to the circle, we know that angle ∠ORQ is 90°. Then, since OR is equivalent to the radius of 5, RQ is 5√3, and side OQ is clearly larger than RQ, we can identify this as a 90-60-30 degree triangle. This makes side OQ have a length of 10, and angle ∠QOR, opposite of the second largest side, has the second largest angle of 60°, leaving ∠OQR with an angle of 30°.

The formula for the chord length is 2r*sin(c/2), with c being the angle between the two points on the circle (in this case, ∠QOR=∠NOR).. Our radius is 5, so the length of chord NR is 2*5*sin(60/2)=5, making our answer 5(ON)+5(OR)+5(RN)
