Answer 1

RS = 24units

Explanation:

From the circle given, the radius is 13 units. Hence;

JS = radius = 13

PJ = 5units

Get PS first using the pythagoras theorem;

JS² = PJ²+PS²

13² = 5²+PS²

169 = 25 + PS²

PS² = 169-25

PS² = 144

PS = √144

PS = 12units

Since RS = 2PS

RS = 2(12)

RS = 24units
