- Engineers want to measure the distance from P to Q, but the span from P to Q is across the tip of a lake. So they select a point R on land and find that the distance from R to Q is 100 feet and from R to P is 120 feet. Angle QPR measures 47 degrees. How far is it from P to Q?arrow_forwardUse the pythagorean theorem and a proportion for the similar angles t and S to solve for the simplified exact values of the remaining lengths in the diagram: a= b= c= d=arrow_forwardAlex drew a circle with right triangle PRQ inscribed in it, as shown below: The figure shows a circle with points P, Q, and R on it forming an inscribed triangle.
