QR is the diameter of a circle with center O. If OP=13 cm and PR=10 cm ,find the length of PQ
Anonymous:
is P a point on the circumfrence?
Yes
Pls solve it fast I need to go school
Answer is 24 cm in book
The problem is the question itself isn't correct. PR cannot be equal to 10. Try drawing it out to see what I mean
How can I send you a photo pls tell me I want to send u a photo of question
there should be a paperclip symbol. Click that to add your pic. Search it up if that helps

Answer:
18.4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
PO is a radius that is 13 cm. That means that OQ which is also a radius has a measure of 13 cm. Together lines PO, OQ and PQ make a right triangle. PQ is the hypotenuse which we solve for:
c^2= 13^2 + 13^2
c^2= 338
c = 18.4 cm
PS
Line PR can't be 10 cm because using the tangent property it wont mathematically correspond to the other measurements in a right triangle. Try drawing it out and solving for RO to get what I mean.
