QR is tangent to circle P at point Q.

Circle P is shown. Line segment P Q is a radius. Line segment Q R is a tangent that intersects the circle at point Q. A line is drawn from point R to point P and goes through a point on the circle. Angle Q P R is 53 degrees.

A. 37 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since QR is tangent to the circle, it means that is in a right angle. Meaning that angle Q is equal to 90 degrees.

Since you know what two angles are equal to, you can use the triangle angle sum theorem by setting them all up to 180.

53+90+x=180

Simplify the answer

143+x=180

Subtract 143 from both sides

X=37

The approximate length of RP is 6.1 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If Line segment Q R is a tangent to circle P at point Q

then

Line segment QR is perpendicular to line segment PQ (radius) and PQR is a right triangle

so

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

RP^2=PQ^2+QR^2

substitute the given values

RP^2=3^2+5.3^2

RP^2=37.09

RP=6.1\ units

SI=(P*R*T)/100

P=2000

R=1.5

T=6

SI=(2000*1.5*6)/100

=(2000*9)/100

=180

Neil will earn interest of 180

Cost of 7 gallons=$24.50

Cost of 1 gallon=24.50/7=3.5

Cost of 15 gallons=15*3.5=52.5

Cost of 15 gallons will be $52.5
