Answer:

3 Units

Step-by-step explanation:

Secant RM intersects secant RN at point R.

The secants intersects the circle at points P and Q respectively as seen in the diagram.

To determine the length of RQ, we use the Theorem of Intersecting Secants.

Applying this on the diagram, we have:

RP x RN=RQ X RM

4(4+5)=RQ(RQ+9)

Let the length of RQ=x

4*9=x^2+9x\\36=x^2+9x\\x^2+9x-36=0\\x^2+12x-3x-36=0\\x(x+12)-3(x+12)=0\\(x+12)(x-3)=0\\x+12=0$ x-3=0\\x=-12 or x=3\\Since x cannot be negative$\\x=|RQ|=3

Therefore, length of RQ=3 Units

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Either 130 or 131 would be acceptable.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we estimate, we do not use exact values.

66.17 is close to 66

44.98 is close to 45

20.15 is close to 20

           

Add the estimates together: 66+ 45+ 20 = 131

We could also estimate 66.17 to 65 which would give us an estimate of 130
