Here Q and S are the points on smaller and larger circles respectively and P is the center of both circles.

Given that, radius of smaller circle, PQ= 2.5

and radius of larger circle, PS= 5

RS is a chord of the larger circle and tangent to the smaller circle at point Q.

That's why, ∠PQS will be 90° and the ΔPQS is a right angle triangle.

For ΔPQS, we will use Pythagorean Theorem, according to this theorem here:

(PS)² = (PQ)² + (QS)²

⇒ (5)² = (2.5)² + (QS)² [By plugging PS= 5 and PQ= 2.5]

⇒ 25 = 6.25 + (QS)²

⇒ 18.75 = (QS)² [Subtracting 6.25 from both sides]

⇒ QS = √18.75

⇒ QS = 4.3301

Here Q is the midpoint of the cord RS, so RQ= QS

That means, RS = 2× QS

= 2× 4.3301

= 8.6602

= 8.7 [Rounding to the nearest tenth]

So, the length of RS to the nearest tenth is 8.7

What is the surface area 1ft 1ft 1ft?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

6 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the object in question is a cube, then we could say the length is 1, the depth is 1 and the height is 1, in which case each side of the cube has an area of 1 ft^2.  

There are 6 such sides, so the total surface area is 6 ft^2.

Next time please be explicit in naming the shape, either verbally or with a diagram.

PLEASE HELP:)))))))))
slava [35]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180° , thus

y = 180° - (55 + 41)° = 180° - 96° = 84°

z and y are adjacent angles and supplementary, thus

z = 180° - 84° = 96°

x and 109° are alternate exterior angles and congruent, thus

x = 109°
