I need help with this geometry question

Mathematics
1 answer:
UNO [17]2 years 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 )

Eduardwww [97]
Let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"

thus \bf y=ab\qquad 
\begin{cases}
a+b=80\\
b=80-a
\end{cases}\implies y=a(80-a)\implies y=80a-a^2\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{dy}{da}=80-2a

set the derivative to 0, and check the critical points, there's only one anyway

and do a first-derivative test, to see if it's a maximum

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Correct option: e) a two-way table.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case the store wants to see whether there is a relationship between the satisfaction level of the customer and their gender.

In statistics when there is a need to analyze or derive a relation between two categorical variables one should use a two-way table.

Categorical variables are qualitative variables that take on specific values that are usually labels. For example, grades obtained in an exam, gender, etc.

In this case the two categorical variables are: Gender and Satisfaction level.

To study the relation between the gender of a customer and their satisfaction level use a two-way table.
