Question

What is the approximate length of RP? Round to the nearest tenth. 5. 6 units 6. 1 units 8. 3 units 9. 8 units.

Answer 1

The apporoximate length of the RP is 6.1 units, the correct option is B.

What is Pythagoras theorem?

The Pythagoras theorem states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the lengths of the other two sides of the right-angled triangle.

Given

QR is the tangent to circle P at point Q.

QP = 3 units and QR = 5,.3 units

The length of the RP is given by;

$\rm RP=\sqrt{QP^2+QR^2} \\\\RP=\sqrt{3^2+5.3^2}\\\\ RP=\sqrt{9+28.09} \\\\RP=\sqrt{37.09}\\\\RP= 6.1 \ units$

Hence, the apporoximate length of the RP is 6.1 units.
