Answer:
See explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
You will need to know the abbreviations of measurements because when pertaining to the real world, an you will see things as so "This fence is about 15ft tall." or "Jacobb is 72in tall." If you do not understand the abbreviations you will not understand what anyone is ever talking about when it comes to measurements. As for knowing how to convert measures to be equivalent, that is important because some measurements are bigger than others. It doesn't make since to say 12 inches, when you can just say 1 foot.
The shortest distance would be 9.4 kilometers Southeast
or in other words divide 7.5 by 9 to get your answer which is .83333.. which is the same as 5/6 of a page per minute.
Check
5/6 + 5/6 + 5/6 + 5/6 + 5/6 +5/6 +5/6 +5/6 +5/6 + 45/6 or 7 3/6 = 7 1/2
We know that
If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment. (Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem)
so
ST²=RT*QT
RT=7 in
QT=23+7-----> 30 in
ST²=7*30-----> 210
ST=√210-----> 14.49 in
the answer is
RT=14.49 in
