Answer:

(J) 8.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: From the given figure, it is given that AD=11, CB=6.

To find: The value of AB.

Solution: Using the tangent-secant segment length theorem that is If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.

That is:

(AD)^2=(AC)(AB)

Now, substituting the values, we have

(11)^2=(AB+BC)(AB)

(11)^2=(AB+6)(AB)

121=(AB)^2+6AB

(AB)^2+6AB-121=0

Using the Quadratic formula, we have

AB=\frac{-6{\pm}\sqrt{6^2-4(1)(-121)}}{2(1)}

AB=\frac{-6{\pm}\sqrt{520}}{2}

AB=\frac{-6{\pm}\sqrt{4{\cdot}130}}{2}

AB=\frac{-6{\pm}2\sqrt{130}}{2}

AB=-3{\pm}\sqrt{130}

Since, the value of AB cannot be negative, thus

AB=-3+\sqrt{130}

AB=8.4

which is the required value of AB.

Hence, option J is correct.

Check the picture below.

\bf 0=AB^2+6AB-121\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the quadratic formula}}{AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm \sqrt{6^2-4(1)(-121)}}{2(1)}}
\\\\\\
AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm \sqrt{520}}{2}\implies AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm \sqrt{4\cdot 130}}{2}
\\\\\\
AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm \sqrt{2^2\cdot 130}}{2}\implies AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm 2\sqrt{130}}{2}
\\\\\\
AB=-3\pm\sqrt{130}\implies AB=
\begin{cases}
\boxed{-3+\sqrt{130}}\\\\
-3-\sqrt{130}
\end{cases}

since the distance AB cannot be a negative value, thus is not -3-√(130).

What is the volume of a cone with a diameter of 16 centimeters and a height of 15 centimeters?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is 8cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vol. Of cone= 1/3pi r²h

= 1/3×3.14× 8²×15

= 8×8×5×3.14

64× 5×3.14

= 320×314/100

=16×314=5024 cm³

Hope this helps:) Goodluck!

Simple geometry problem
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I gather that you need to find the area of the sector and then subtract from it the area of the segment to get the area of the triangle (although there are other ways in which to find the area of the triangle).

The area of a sector is:

A=\frac{\theta}{360}\pi r^2 where our angle is given as 34, pi is 3.1415, and the radius is 5:

A=\frac{34}{360}(3.1415)(25) and if you multiply and divide that all out you get that the area of the sector is:

A = 7.417

Now subtract from it the area of the segment, 2.209. to get the area of the triangle:

7.417 - 2.209 = 5.208
