Applying the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the radius is: 35.3 units.

<h3>How to Apply the Pythagorean Theorem?</h3>

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the sum of the squares of the shorter sides of a right triangle equals the square of the longest side. For example, if a and b are two smaller legs of a right triangle, and c is the longest leg (hypotenuse) of the right triangle, then the Pythagorean theorem states that:

a² + b² = c².

Given the following parameters of the right triangle:

Triangle ABC is a right triangle with angle ACB as the right angle according to the tangent theorem since segment BC is tangent to Circle A

Segment AB = 58 (hypotenuse of the right triangle)

Segment BC = 46 (small leg of the right triangle)

Radius = AC (small leg of the right triangle)

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:

AC = √(AB² - BC²)

AC = √(58² - 46²)

AC = 35.3 units (to the nearest tenth).

Therefore, by using the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the radius of the circle, which is segment AC, to the nearest tenth is: 35.5 units.

The following annual expenses for car insurance, vacation, and home repairs for the Clark family are $1130, $700, and $468, resp
eimsori [14]

Answer:

A) $192

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Yearly expense of Car insurance = $1130

Yearly expense of Vacation = $700

Yearly expense of home repairs = $468

we need to find the monthly allowance of Clark family.

First we find the total annual expense of Clark family.

Total Annual expense is equal to sum of Yearly expense of Car insurance and  Yearly expense of Vacation and Yearly expense of home repairs.

Framing in equation form we get;

Total annual expense = \$1130 + \$700+\$468 = \$2298

Now we know that;

Number of months in a year = 12 months.

Total Monthly allowance will be equal to Total annual expense divided by Number of months in year.

Framing the equation we get;

Total Monthly allowance  = \frac{\$2298}{12}= \$191.5

Rounding to nearest dollar we get;

Total Monthly allowance of Clark family is $192.
