If a car goes around a turn too quickly, it can leave tracks that form an arc of a circle. By finding the radius of the circle,

accident investigators can estimate the speed of the car. To find the radius, accident investigators choose points A and B on the tire marks. Then, the investigators find the midpoint C of AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. Use the diagram to find the radius r of the circle. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Given:
Segment AC = 130 feet
Segment CD = 70 feet

I think that I'll be using the Pythagorean Theorem in finding the value of r. r will be the hypotenuse

Segment CE = (r - 70 feet)

r² = a² + b²
r² = 130² + (r-70)²
r² = 16,900 + (r-70)(r-70)
r² = 16,900 + r² - 70r - 70r + 4900
r² - r² + 140r = 16,900 + 4,900
140r = 21,800
r = 21,800/140
r = 155.71 feet

The radius of the circle is 155.71 feet.

Answer: 155.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Use what you know.

Segment AC is 130 ft

Segment CD is 70ft

If you use the Pythagorean Theorem, in this case being r^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}

To find segment CE, you would do r-70

So, r^{2} = 130^{2} + (r-70)^{2}

r^{2} = 16,900 + r^{2} -140r + 4900

Add the -140r to the left side and then get rid of the two r^{2}. Then Add 16,900 and 4900 together

You'll end up with 140r = 21,800

Divide 140 on each side.

Your final answer will be 155.7 (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Solve for X. Please!!
pychu [463]

Answer:

x = 37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

By Basic Proportionality Theorem:

\frac{x}{20}  =  \frac{46 - 16}{16} \\  \\   \frac{x}{20}  =  \frac{30}{16} \\  \\  x =  \frac{20 \times 30}{16}  \\  \\ x =  \frac{600}{16}  \\  \\ x = 37.5

. How many minutes is it from 23:35 today to 01:15 tomorrow?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

A (100)

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2 hours pass starting at 23:35 today, then tomorrow the time will be 1:35. The difference between 1:35 and 1:15 is 20 (minutes) Because there are 120 minutes in 2 hours (60 minutes per hour), This means we do 120 minutes minus 20 minutes. This gives us an answer is A, 100 :)

Find two mixed numbers so that the sum is seven wholes and two eights and the difference is two wholes and four eigths
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 7 + 2/8 = 58/8

x - y = 2 + 4/8 = 20/8

Add the equations together

2x = 78/8

x = 39/8

y = x - 20/8 = 19/8

x = 39/8 = 4⅞

y = 19/8 = 2⅜
