Response:

Option: C

Detailed explanation:

To determine the length of side PQ, we must first calculate the length of the vertical line segment that is perpendicular to side PR, which we shall call QS.

Since ΔQSR is a right triangle, and we know the lengths of sides QR and SR, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem:

$QR^{2}=SR^{2}+QS^{2}$

$5^{2}=3^{2}+QS^{2}\\ \\QS^{2}=5^{2}-3^{2}\\\\QS^{2}=25-3=16=4^2$

Thus, QS=4.

Next, we analyze ΔQSP, which is also a right triangle, and again utilize the Pythagorean theorem:

$PQ^{2}=QS^{2}+PS^{2}\\ \\PQ^{2}=4^{2}+6^{2}=16+36=52$

This implies $QS=\sqrt{52}=2\sqrt{13}$

Consequently, side PQ measures $\sqrt{52}=2\sqrt{13}$ .

Therefore, option C is the correct choice.

tester [12383]

In numerical format, this value is represented as 680,010.
In expanded notation, it can be expressed as
600,000 + 80,000 + 10

When written in words, it is described as
Six hundred eighty thousand and ten .

Take into account that the arrangement of the numbers corresponds to each of the forms presented

Six hundred thousand equals 600,000
Eighty thousand equals 80,000
Ten equals 10
