Answer:
-5.1x + 12.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms: first, combine the x terms, obtaining -5.1x.
Next, combine the constants, obtaining 12.3.
The simplified expression is -5.1x + 12.3
Consider, in ΔRPQ,
RP = R (Radius of larger circle)
PQ = r (radius of smaller circle)
We have to find, RQ, by Pythagoras theorem,
RP² = PQ²+RQ²
R² = r²+RQ²
RQ² = R²-r²
RQ = √(R²-r²
Now, as RQ & QS both are tangents of the smaller circle, their lengths must be equal. so, RS = 2 × RQ
RS = 2√(R²-r²)
