Answer:

12.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that line CD is a perpendicular bisector, triangle ACD is a right triangle, and thus we can apply the Pythagorean theorem to determine the length of side CD. Since the Pythagorean theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the adjacent sides, we can plug in the values of side AD and AC.

As side CD is the bisector of side AB, sides AD and DB are both half the length of side AB, so:
AD = 11/2
AD = 5.5

We now know two values of our equation, and thus we can solve for the missing third value.

5.5^2 + b^2 = 14^2
14^2 - 5.5^2 = b^2
196 - 30.25 = b^2
165.75 = b^2
\sqrt{165.75} = b
b = 12.87

(50 points) A diameter of a circle has endpoints P(-10, -2) and Q(4,6)
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The center of the circle is the midpoint of the two end points of the diameter.

Formula

Center = (x2 + x1)/2 , (y2 + y1)/2

Givens

x2 = 4

x1 = - 10

y2 = 6

y1 = - 2

Solution

Center = (4 - 10)/2, (6 - 2)/2

Center = -6/2 , 4/2

Center = - 3 , 2

So far what you have is

(x+3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = r^2

Now you have to find the radius.

You can use either of the endpoints to find the radius.

find the distance from (4,6) to (-3,2)

r^2 = ( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 )

x2 = 4

x1 = -3

y2 = 6

y1 = 2

r^2 = ( (4 - -3)^2 + (6 - 2)^2 )

r^2 = ( (7)^2 + 4^2)

r^2 = ( 49 + 16)

r^2 = 65

Ultimate formula is

(x+3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 65

The radius is √65 = 8.06

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a=1

r=-6/1=-6

S_{7}=a\frac{1-r^n}{1-r} =1\frac{1-(-6)^7}{1-(-6)} \\=\frac{1+6^7}{1+6} \\=\frac{1+279936}{7} \\=\frac{279937}{7} \\=39991
