Two circles with different radii have chords AB and CD, such that AB is congruent to CD. Are the arcs intersected by these chord

s also congruent? Explain.
Hint:

It would be helpful to draw two circles and label them according to the given information, then evaluate possible arc measures.
Consider the type of triangle that may be drawn by connecting the endpoints of a chord to the center of a circle. Compare the triangles made by two circles with different radii.

The arcs intersected by these chords are not congruent.

Given that two circles with different radii have chords AB and CD, such that AB is congruent to CD.

Let r₁ and r₂ be the radii of two different circles with centers O and O' respectively.

Assuming that the each of the ∠АОВ  and ∠CO'D is less than or equal to π.

Then, we have isosceles triangle AOB and CO'D such that,

AO = OB = r₁,

CO' = O'D = r₂,

Let us assume that r₁< r₂;

We can see that arc(AB) intersected by AB is greater than arc(CD), intersected by the chord CD;

arc(AB) > arc(CD)      .......(1)

Indeed,

arc(AB) = r₁ angle (AOB)

arc(CD) = r₂ angle (CO'D)

So, we have to prove that ;

∠AOB >∠CO'D       ......(2)

Since each angle is less than or equal to π, and so

∠AOB/2  and ∠CO'D/2 is less than or equal to π

it suffices to show that :

tan(AOB/2) >tan(CO'D/2) ......(3)

From triangle AOB :

tan(AOB/2) = AB/(2*r₁)

tan(CO'D/2) = CD/(2*r₂)

Since AB = CD and r₁ < r₂ (As obtained from the result of (3) ), therefore, arc(AB) > arc(CD).

Hence, for two circles with different radii have chords AB and CD, such that AB is congruent to CD but the arcs intersected by these chords are not congruent.

Just divide and check,<br><br>(x^2 + 7x + 10) ÷ (x + 2)<br><br>​
Serggg [28]

Answer:

x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

so first you would divide by x (which means you would multiply x+2 by -x)

x^2 + 7x + 10

-x^2 - 2x

5x + 10

then you would divide by 5 (which means you would multiply x+2 by -5)

5x + 10

5x +10

0

So then to check it you would multiply x+5 by x+2

(x+5)(x+2)

x^2 + 2x + 5x + 10

then simplify to get

x^2 + 7x + 10

(y 3 - 4y 2 + 7y - 6) (y - 2)
JulijaS [17]
Y^4-4y^3+7y^2-6y-2y^3+8y^2-14y+12=
y^4-6y^3+15y^2-20y+12

or

y^3-4y^2+7y-6=y^3-4y^2+4y+3y-6=
y(y^2-4y+4)+3(y-2)=
y(y-2)^2+3(y-2)=(y-2)[y(y-2)+3]=(y-2)(y^2-2y+3)

(y^3-4y^2+7y-6)(y-2)=(y-2)^2(y^2-2y+3)

A fuel-tanker's tank is 50 feet long and has a diameter of seven feet. Determine the surface area of the fuel tank.
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

1176.679ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The question is on surface area of a cylindrical fuel tank</u>

Equation for surface area of a cylinder

S.A = 2\pirh +2\pir²

where r is the radius of cylinder and h is height of cylinder

Diameter=7'⇒r=3.5' and h=50'

Surface Area= 2×3.142×3.5×50 + 2×3.142×3.5×3.5

S.A=1099.7+76.979=1176.679ft²
