### Geometry Problems and Their Solutions

#### Problem 9
**Question:** If \( RS = 6 \), \( ST = 4 \), and \( RP = 15 \), what is the length of \( RQ \)?

**Explanation:** 
The diagram shows a circle with center \( O \). A straight line forms a triangle \( RST \), with \( Q \) on the circle such that \( RQ \) is a radius. Given the distances:
- \( RP \) (from \( R \) to \( P \))
- \( RS \) (from \( R \) to \( S \)) 
- \( ST \) (from \( S \) to \( T \))

Make use of the properties of the circle along with these lengths to solve for \( RQ \).

#### Problem 10
**Question:** Find \( m ∠L \), rounded to the nearest degree.

**Explanation:**
The diagram represents a right-angled triangle \( JKL \) where:
- \( \overline{JK} = 24 \) units (base)
- \( \overline{KL} = 7 \) units (height)
- \( \overline{JL} = 25 \) units (hypotenuse)

Using trigonometric ratios (specifically the tangent function) to find the angle \( ∠L \):
\[ \tan(∠L) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{7}{24} \]
Then, use the arctangent (inverse tangent) to calculate \( ∠L \).

#### Problem 11
**Question:** The center of circle \( Q \) has coordinates \( (6,4) \). If circle \( Q \) passes through \( A(10,7) \), what is the length of its diameter?

**Explanation:**
To determine the radius of the circle, calculate the distance between the center \( (6,4) \) and the point \( A(10,7) \) using the distance formula:
\[ d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2} \]
\[ d = \sqrt{(10-6)^2 + (7-4)^2} \]
The diameter is twice the radius, so multiply the radius found by 2 to get the diameter.
