<h3>Answer: QS is 37 units long</h3>
=========================================
Explanation:
PN = 24 and NR = 14 are pieces of the chord PR. The two pieces multiply to some value. At the same time, the other two pieces QN = 21 and NS = 2x-4 also multiply to that same value. In short, the chord pieces multiply to the same number. This is known as the intersecting chord theorem.
PN*NR = QN*NS
24*14 = 21*(2x-4)
336 = 42x-84
336+84 = 42x-84+84 .... add 84 to both sides
420 = 42x
42x = 420
42x/42 = 420/42 ...... divide both sides by 42
x = 10
We know that x = 10 so we can use it to find the length of NS
NS = 2x-4
NS = 2*10-4
NS = 20-4
NS = 16
Therefore,
QS = QN + NS
QS = 21 + 16
QS = 37
--------
note: as a check,
PN*NR = QN*NS
24*14 = 21*16
336 = 336
we get a true equation, so we have the proper values

18*6=108
Answer:
The entire area of the sailboat is 60cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the area of this shape by breaking it down into simpler shapes and adding up their individual areas.
In this case, the areas we'll use are the rectangle at the bottom, and the pair of triangles at the top.
Because the two triangles can be put together to form a single triangle, we don't need to measure them independently. We can simply take the total length of their bases, multiply it by their height, and divide by two. This follows the rule that the area of a triangle is equal to the area of the square that contains it divided by two.
(2cm + 3cm) × 6cm
= 5cm × 6cm
= 30cm²
The rectangle's area is of course equal to its width times its height, so we can say:
2.5cm × 12cm
= 30cm²
The total area of the shapes then is 30cm² + 30 cm², giving us a total area of 60cm²
She would have saved 30 dollars.
Since 5x is equal to y.we can write 5x instead of y in the equation.and then solve the equation
