Answer: 14.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Law of Sines, we know that


(16)/(sin(72)) =(PR)/(sin(90))

Thus,
PR=16.8233955878

Then, using
(\alpha )/(sin(\alpha)) =2R,

we know that
(16.8233955878)/(sin(s)) =(16.8233955878)/(sin(36)) =28.621670112 = 2R

Therefore,
R = 14.310735056

Final answer:

Without additional context or a diagram, it is not possible to determine the length of segment OP based on the given angles and segment RM length alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find OP, we need additional information about the diagram or the context in which angles P and S, and segment RM are related. It seems like this could be a question that involves a circle (where OP would be the radius), triangles, or some other geometric figures. Since we are not given a specific diagram or additional context, we cannot accurately determine the length of OP without more information. If OP is supposed to be a segment in a geometric figure related to RM, angles P and S, the question may be referring to a circle or triangle situation, but we need the relationship between these elements to provide a precise answer.
