Answer :

In the given diagram, the length of OQ is 11

Calculating the length of a line segment

From the question, we are to determine the length of OQ

From the given information,

OP = 17

QP = 6

In the diagram, we can observe that

OQ + QP = OP

∴ OQ + 6 = 17

Subtract 6 from both sides

OQ + 6 - 6 = 17 - 6

OQ = 11

Hence, the length of OQ is 11
