Answer:

The length of PQ is 18 feet.

The length of PR is 18 feet.

The length of QR is 24 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A way to set an equation up for this problem is:

$\frac{4}{3}x+x+x=60$

where x is the three lengths of the isosceles triangle, but the base QR is 4/3 the length of the other two congruent sides, length PQ and PR. The 60 represents the total length of the perimeter.

Then, solve for x from the equation, and you’ll get x=18. But your not done yet. Since the variable x in the equation stands for the sides of the isosceles triangle, so plug 18 into the equation and it should look like this:

$\frac{4}{3}(18)+18+18=60$

Don’t solve the whole equation, just solve the $\frac{4}{3}(18)$ part of the equation, which is equal to 24. So the final equation is this:

$24+18+18=60$

Conclusion: 24 is the length of QR, and 18 is the length of PQ and PR. And they all equal 60, which is the perimeter. This is very true because the length of PQ and PR are the same (length 18), since it’s an isosceles triangle, and the length of QR is 4/3 the length of PQ and PR (4/3 of 18= 24).

Sorry for the long explanation.

But hope this helps and answers your question :)

$\bold{\huge{\underline{ Solution\: 2 }}}$

The name of the circle is IJKL
The name of central Angle
$\sf{\underline{= {\angle} IHJ }}$
The name of the secant = KL

${\bigstar}$ Circle :- It is a round figures, which has no end points.

${\bigstar}$ Central angle :- It the angle ,which lie in the middle of the circle.

Here, H is the mid point of the circle .So, Angle IHJ is the central angle.

${\bigstar}$ Secant :- A line drawn in circle in such a way that it intersect the circle from two distinct points. Then, It is called secant .

Here, KL is the line which acts as a secant because it intersect the circle from point K and point L.

$\bold{\huge{\underline{ Solution\: 3 }}}$

Semicircle = FGH and FIH
Minor Arc :- FG or GH
Major Arc :- FHG or GFH

${\bigstar}$ Semicircle :- Semicircle is nothing but the half of the circle.

Here, In second diagram 

FGH and FIH are acting as two semicircles which simulatineously forming one circle.

${\bigstar}$ Minor Arc :- Minor Arc is nothing but the smaller arc of the circle and it is always smaller than the half of the circle that is semicircle.

Here, 

FG or GH are the minor arc of the given circle.

${\bigstar}$ Major Arc :- Major Arc is nothing but the largest arc of the circle and it is always larger than the half of the circle that is semicircle.

Here, 

FHG or GFH is the major arc as it is larger than the semicircle of the given circle .

Z to the power of 2 =1

stiv31 [10]

That would be written as:

$z^{2} = 1$

And the step-by-step equation would be:

$z^{2} = 1$ → we take the 2 to the right side of the equation and do the IO*

$z = \sqrt{1}$ →we solve for $\sqrt{1}$

$z = 1$ → final answer

*Ps - IO is not an existing term and stands for inverse operation. In this case, because when we take to 2 to the right side of the equation (the 2 is a power) it'll have to turn into a square root (because exponents and roots are inverse operations)

Hope it helped,
