A regular dodecagon (12-sided regular polygon) is inscribed in a circle of radius \( r \) cm as shown in the figure. The side of the dodecagon is \( d \) cm. All the triangles (numbered 1 to 12 in the figure) are used to form squares of side \( r \) cm, and each numbered triangle is used only once to form a square. The number of squares that can be formed and the number of triangles required to form each square, respectively, are:
In the given figure, the numbers associated with the rectangle, triangle, and ellipse are 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Which one among the given options is the most appropriate combination of \( P \), \( Q \), and \( R \)?
- The left-hand side of a 20 cm thick wall is maintained at 25°C. The right-hand side of the wall is exposed to hot air at 50°C. There is no heat generation inside the wall and its thermal conductivity is 100 W/m·K. The convective heat transfer coefficient is 50 W/m²·K. Under steady state condition, the temperature (in °C) of the right-hand side surface of the wall is ........ (Rounded off to one decimal place).
