Step-by-step explanation:

there are 2 similar triangles : ABE and DCE

that means they have the same angles, and the scaling factor from one triangle to the other is the same for every side.

and that means that

DE/AE = EC/BE (= DC/AB)

we know that

AE = AD + DE

BE = BC + EC

so, we have actually

DE/(AD+DE) = EC/(BC+EC)

DE/(10+DE) = 8/(2+8) = 8/10 = 4/5

DE = 4(10+DE)/5

5DE = 4(10+DE) = 40 + 4DE

DE = 40 cm

AD/DE = 3/5

BC/EC must be 3/5 too.

15/EC = 3/5

15 = 3EC/5

75 = 3EC

EC = 25 cm

If the radius of a circle is 3.5 what is the area?

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

A= 12.25π or A≈ 38.48

Step-by-step explanation:

The area formula for a circle is A= πr².

A= πr²

A= π(3.5)²

A= 12.25π or A≈ 38.48

If the coordinates of the endpoints of a diameter of the circle are known, the equation of a circle can be found. First, find

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The equation of the circle is $(x+3)^2+(y-5)^2 = 17$

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

If the coordinates of the endpoints of a diameter of the circle are known, the equation of a circle can be found. First, find the midpoint of the diameter, which is the center of the circle. Then find the radius, which is the distance from the center to either endpoint of the diameter. Finally use the center-radius form to find the equation.

Find the center-radius form of the circle having the points (1,4) and (-7,6) as the endpoints of a diameter.

Consider that, if both points are the endpoints of a diameter, the center of the circle is the point that is exactly in the middle of the two points (that is, the point whose distance to each point is equal). Given points (a,b) and (c,d), by using the distance formula, you can check that the middle point is the average of the coordinates. Hence, the center of the circle is given by

$(\frac{1-7}{2}, \frac{4+6}{2}) = (-3,5)$ .

We will find the radius. Recall that the radius of the circle is the distance from one point of the circle to the center. Recall that the distance between points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by $\sqrt[]{(a-c)^2+(b-d)^2}$ . So, let us use (1,4) to calculate the radius.

$r = \sqrt[]{(1-(-3))^2+(4-5)^2} = \sqrt[]{17}$ .

REcall that given a point $(x_0,y_0)$ . The equation of a circle centered at the point $(x_0,y_0)$ is

$(x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2 = r^2$

In our case, $(x_0,y_0)=(-3,5)$ and $r=\sqrt[]{17}$ . Then, the equation is

$(x-(-3))^2+(y-5)^2 = (x+3)^2+(y-5)^2 = 17$

A map of Rockbridge County has a scale factor of

malfutka [58]

Answer: 6 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a map of Rockbridge County has a scale factor of 2.5 in = 5 miles.

When the actual distance from Fairfield to Lexington is 12 miles, the distance on the map will be:

= 12/5 × 2.5

= 2.4 × 2.5

= 6 inch
