The correct Answer is:
To find the radius of the circumcircle of triangle PQR, where angle RPQ is 90 degrees, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the triangle and its sides In triangle PQR, we know: - Angle RPQ = 90 degrees - PR = 6 cm - PQ = 8 cm ### Step 2: Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the third side QR Since triangle PQR is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states: \[ QR^2 = PQ^2 + PR^2 \] Substituting the known values: \[ QR^2 = 8^2 + 6^2 \] \[ QR^2 = 64 + 36 \] \[ QR^2 = 100 \] Now, taking the square root to find QR: \[ QR = \sqrt{100} = 10 \text{ cm} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the circumradius (R) of triangle PQR For a right triangle, the circumradius (R) can be calculated using the formula: \[ R = \frac{C}{2} \] where C is the length of the hypotenuse. In triangle PQR, QR is the hypotenuse. So, substituting the value of QR: \[ R = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \text{ cm} \] ### Conclusion The radius of the circumcircle of triangle PQR is **5 cm**. ---
