Option B: TU $\cong$ TS PU $\cong$ TU

Option C: The length of line segment PR is 13 units.

Explanation:

Given that the circle is inscribed in triangle PRT. Points Q, S, and U of the circle are on the sides of the triangle. Point Q is on side P R, point S is on side R T, and point U is on side P T.

The length of RS is 5, the length of PU is 8 and the length of UT is 6.

Option A: The perimeter of the triangle is 19 units.

The perimeter of the triangle is given by

Perimeter of ΔPRT = PU + UT + TS + SR + RQ + QP

Since, P, T and R are tangents to the circle and we know that "Tangents to a circle drawn to a point outside the circle are equal in length".

Thus, we have,

RS = RQ = 5

PU = PQ = 8 and

UT = TS = 6

Substituting the values in the perimeter of ΔPRT, we get,

Perimeter of ΔPRT = 8 + 6 + 6 + 5 + 5 + 8 =38 units

Thus, the perimeter of the triangle is 38 units.

Hence, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B : TU $\cong$ TS PU $\cong$ TU

Since, P, T and R are tangents to the circle and we know that "Tangents to a circle drawn to a point outside the circle are equal in length".

Then TU $\cong$ TS PU $\cong$ TU

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Option C: The length of line segment PR is 13 units.

The length of PR is given by

PR = PQ + QR

Substituting the values RQ = 5 and PQ = 8, we get,

PR = 5 + 8 = 13 units

Thus, the length of line segment PR is 13 units.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

Option D: The length of line segment TR is 10 units.

The length of TR is given by

TR = TS + SR

Substituting the values TS = 6 and SR = 5, we get,

TR = 6 + 5 = 11 units

Thus, the length of line segment TR is 11 units

Hence, Option D is not the correct answer.

Which graph matches the equation y+3=2(x+3)?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The graph that includes points (-3,-3) and (0,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the pictures attached, the options are shown.

The equation:

y+3=2(x+3)

has the point-slope form, which is:

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

where (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line and <em>m</em> is its slope. This means that (-3,-3) is on the line. To know the y-intercept of the line, we have to replace x = 0 into the equation, as follows:

y+3=2(0+3)

y+3 = 6

y = 6 - 3

y = 3

Then, point (0, 3) is on the line.

A cargo truck is 2.74 yards wide, 4.23 yards high, and 9.71 yards long. How many cubic feet of cargo space does the truck have?
Otrada [13]

All you have to do is multiply length x width x height

9.71 x 2.74 x 4.23 = 112.54 feet^{3}

The mini muffins company bakes 1872 muffins the large mini muffin boxes hold a dozen muffins how many large boxes are needed to
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

To pack 1872 muffins the mini muffins company needs 156 large boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of muffins baked by the mini muffins company  = 1872.

the large mini muffin boxes hold a dozen muffins that is the large box contains 12 muffins.( 1 Dozen = 12 )

We have to find the number of large boxes needed to pack 1872 muffins.

Using unitary method,

12 muffins is contained in 1 large box.

1 muffin is contained in \frac{1}{12} large box.

1872 muffins contained in \frac{1}{12} \times 1872=156 large boxes.

Hence, To pack 1872 muffins the mini muffins company needs 156 large boxes.

A botanist predicts that the height of a certain tree will increase by 2% every year. If the height of the tree is now 50 feet,
Neporo4naja [7]
To answer this kinda question, we gotta tackle it year by year. 
By the end of the first year, the tree would grow by 2% = 102% of its original height.
Year 1: 102% x 50 = 51 feet
Year 2: 103% x 51 = 52.02 feet

Hope I helped!! xx
