Question

Three girls reeshma, salma abd mandip are playing a game in a cirvle of radius 5m. Distance from reeshma to salma is 6m, distance between salma and mandip is 6m, find the distance between mandip and reeshma

Answer 1

Answer:

9.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Radius of circle = 5m

Using the labeled triangle :

Obtain OA:

OA = sqrt(Radius² - AR²)

AR =BM = 6/2 = 3

OA = sqrt(5² - 3²)

OA = Sqrt(25 - 9)

OA = Sqrt(16)

OA = 4

Area of triangle OSM

0.5 * 5 * SM = 0.5 * 4 * 6

2.5 * SM = 12

SM = 12 / 2.5

SM = 4.8

Distance RM = RS + SM

SM = RM

RM = 4.8 + 4.8

RM = 9.6 m
