I need help with this geometry question

Mathematics
1 answer:
UNO [17]1 year ago
6 0

Answer:

radius ≈ 15.5

Step-by-step explanation:

the radius is RS

the angle between a tangent and the radius at the point of contact is 90°

then Δ RST is a right triangle

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , then

RS² + ST² = RT² ( substitute values )

RS² + 7² = 17²

RS² + 49 = 289 ( subtract 49 from both sides )

RS² = 240 ( take square root of both sides )

RS = \sqrt{240} ≈ 15.5 ( to 1 dec. place )

Assoli18 [71]
<h3>Answer:  53%</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

The question asks "What percent of females participate in extracurricular activities?" This means we only focus on the second column. There are 36 women, and of this total, 19 are in extracurricular activities.

Dividing the two values leads to approximately 19/36 = 0.52777 which rounds to 0.53

Then we move the decimal to the right two spots to get 53%

Roughly 53% of the female students participate in extracurricular activities.
