Question

R is the midpoint of OP and QR is perpendicular to OP in the diagram below

A. 16in
B. 24in
C. 24in

Answer 1

24 in

Explanation

Using pythagorean theorem, since OP is 20 inches and has a midpoint. RP= 10 and OR=10. The hypotenuse is given as 26 so do 26^2=10^2+a. 676= 100+a^2, subtract 100 from both sides. square root of 576 is 24
