<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

and = .
thirty-four thousandths = .034
Answer:
1. 208 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We can break the shape up into a rectangle in the middle and 2 triangles on either side of said rectangle.
The dimensions of the rectangle are 8 in by 20 in, and we only know one leg of the triangle as well as the hypotenuse.
If we know one leg and the hypotenuse we can use the pythagorean theormed to sovle for the other side and get 6 in.
So we have
(8 * 20) + 2((1/2)(6)(8))
160 + 48
208 in^2
Answer:
for the first on its a=24 and for the second its a= 48
Step-by-step explanation:
for the first one you have to find the length which is 8 and then you find the width which is 3 then you multiply that to get 24
for the second one you find the base which is the strait line which is 8 then you find the height which is 6 then you multiply it to get 48 i hopes this helped!
