Answer:

x = 30º

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the midpoint of OP, R.

The triangle of OQR would be an equilateral triangle since OQ = OR as they are both radii and is OQR and ORQ are 60º, ROQ is also 60º, making the triangle equilateral. Because tangents meet a circle at 90º, the angle RQP would be 30º and since angles on a straight line add to 180º, the angle QRP would be 180-ORQ which is 120º. Now we know the 2 angles in triangle of QRP so we can work out the final angle since angles in a triangle add to 180º. So:

180 - 120 - 30 = 30º.

x = 30º

This would also prove that QR and RP are the same since base angles in an isosceles triangle are equal.

The problem is meant to be set up like this:
100÷ 5 × 4 + 4^3
simply because it is 4 cubed at the end.
and the answer is 144! :)))))

What is the approximate circumference of the circle shown below?

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf 43.35 \ cm}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply formula for the circumference of a circle.

$\sf C=\pi d$

The diameter $\sf d$ is 13.8 cm.

$\sf C=\pi (13.8)$

$\sf C= 43.3539786195...$

$\sf{C} \approx \sf{43.35}$

A 12-ft ladder leaning against a house makes a 64 degree angle with the ground. Will the ladder reach a window sill that is 10.5

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Yes, it will

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of Ladder = 12 ft

Angle = 64

Required

Determine if it'll reach a height of 10.5ft from the base

See attachment for proper illustration.

<em>From the attachment, we want to determine that x be greater than 10.5</em>

Using sin formula:

$Sin\ 64 = \frac{x}{12}$

Multiply through by 12

$x = 12 * sin\ 64$

$x = 12 * 0.8988$

$x = 10.79$ (Approximated)

<em>Since 10.79 is greater than 10.5, then the ladder will reach the window</em>

sin64 = x/12

x = 12* sin64

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a common inhabitant of human intestines is the bacterium Escherichia coli.

A cell of this bacterium in a nutrient-broth medium divides into two cells every 20 minutes.

Initial population = 71 cells

Doubles in 1/3 of an hour

$P = P_o (2)^{t/3}$ , where t is the no of hours.

$P = 71 (2)^{t/3}$

Rate of growth = derivative of P

= $71(2)^{t/3} *(1/3)ln 2\\= \frac{71}{3} (2)^{t/3} ln 2$
