Answer:

32 paperback books

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Width of hardcover books = 1 1/2 inches

Width of paperback books = 3/4 inches

Number of hardcover books already on shelf = 8

Total width of shelf = 3 feets

1 foot = 12 inches

Hence, total shelf width in inches = (12 * 3) = 36 inches

Total width of hardcover books = (8 * 1 1/2) = 12 inches

Total shelf width left = (36 - 12) inches = 24 inches

Maximum number of paperback books :

Total shelf width left / paperback width

24 inches / (3/4)inches = 32 paperback books

The Statement:
AB is a Diameter is wrong because a Diameter is a straight line passing from side to side through the center. In this case it is a Chord because <span> it is a straight line segment whose endpoints both lie on the </span><span>circle.

ST,SP and Sq are radius this is true becuase </span><span> they are all lines that start from any point of the circumference and end at the center of the </span><span>circle
 
SQ= 12 cm this is false because SQ is a radius and SQ=ST, ST=6cm
PQ=12 cm this is true because PQ is a diameter</span>
