Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Directions

  • Draw a circle
  • Dear a chord with a length of 24 inside the circle. You just have to label it as 24
  • Draw a radius that is perpendicular and a bisector through the chord
  • Draw a radius that is from the center of the circle to one end of the chord.
  • Label where the perpendicular radius to the chord intersect. Call it E.
  • You should get something that looks like  the diagram below. The only thing you have to do is put in the point E which is the midpoint of CB.

Givens

AC = 13 inches                   Given

CB = 24 inches                  Given

CE = 12 inches                    Construction and property of a midpoint.

So what we have now is a right triangle (ACE) with the right angle at E.

What we seek is AE

Formula

AC^2 = CE^2 + AE^2

13^2 = 12^2 + AE^2

169 = 144 + AE^2                     Subtract 144 from both sides.

169 - 144 = 144-144 + AE^2     Combine

25 = AE^2                                Take the square root of both sides

√25 = √AE^2

5 = AE

Answer

The 24 inch chord is 5 inches from the center of the circle.

On a road trip, Sara’s brother drove 47.5% of the trip, and Sara drove 80% of the remainder. If Sara drove for 4 hours and 12 mi
8090 [49]
80 percent of 52.5 percent of the trip is 42 percent
therefore, 4 hours and 12 min (or 252 min) is 42 percent of the trip
so
252/.42 = x/1
x = 600 min
the whole trip was 10 hours
