Answer:

PQ = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

If R is the midpoint of PQ, then PR = RQ

⇒ 6x + 7 = 3x + 8

⇒ 3x = 1

⇒ x = 1/3

So PR = 6x + 7 = 6(1/3) + 7 = 9

and RQ = 3x + 8 = 3(1/3) + 8 = 9

⇒ PQ = PR + RQ = 9 + 9 = 18

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The approximate value of the area is $153.86\ m^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the circle (landing pad) is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

we have

$r=7\ m$

substitute

$A=\pi (7)^{2}$

$A=49\pi\ m^{2}$ ----> exact value of the area

Find the approximate value

assume $\pi=3.14$

$A=49(3.14)=153.86\ m^{2}$ ------> approximate value of the area
