<u>Complete Question</u>
The circle is inscribed in triangle PRT. A circle is inscribed in triangle P R T. 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 R S is 5, the length of P U is 8, and the length of U T is 6. Which statements about the figure are true?
Answer:
(B)TU ≅ TS
(D)The length of line segment PR is 13 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram of the question is drawn for more understanding,
The theorem applied to this problem is that of tangents. All tangents drawn to a circle from the same point are equal.
Therefore:
|PQ|=|PU|=8 Units
|ST|=|UT| =6 Units
|RS|=|RQ|=5 Units
(b)From the above, TU ≅ TS
(d)Line Segment |PR|=|PQ|+|QR|=8+5=`13 Units
