Now Consider 
PST and QUR
PTS = QUR
PS = QR = 25 cm
PT = QU (perpendicular distance between a pair of parallel lines)
PST 
QUR
ST = UR (by cpct)
ST + UR + TU = 32
2ST + TU = 32 [since ST =RU and TU = PQ]
ST = 7
In PST, using pythagoras theorem
PS2 = PT2 + ST2
PT2 = 625 - 49 = 576
PT = 24 cm
Diametre = PT = 24 cm
