1. The problem involves two circle diagrams with given angles and lengths.
2. We are given that $UV = 8.29$ and need to find $QR$.
3. Both circles have an angle of $120^\circ$ and radii given or implied.
4. In the left circle, $C$ is the center, $CS = 7$ is the radius, and $\angle QCR = 120^\circ$.
5. The chord length $QR$ in a circle can be found using the formula for chord length:
$$QR = 2r \sin\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)$$
where $r$ is the radius and $\theta$ is the central angle in radians or degrees.
6. Substitute $r = 7$ and $\theta = 120^\circ$:
$$QR = 2 \times 7 \times \sin\left(\frac{120^\circ}{2}\right) = 14 \times \sin(60^\circ)$$
7. We know $\sin(60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$, so:
$$QR = 14 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 7\sqrt{3}$$
8. Numerically, $\sqrt{3} \approx 1.732$, so:
$$QR \approx 7 \times 1.732 = 12.124$$
**Final answer:**
$$QR = 7\sqrt{3} \approx 12.12$$
