Answer:
C. 18 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the sides of the triangle shown is 12 : 15 = 4 : 5. We know it is a right triangle, so we know the missing side length completes the ratio
3 : 4 : 5 = 9 : 12 : 15
Half of XY is 9 cm, so the length of the entire chord is 18 cm.
_____
The chord is tangent to the inner circle, so makes a 90° angle with the radius to that tangent point. This tells you that the triangle shown is a right triangle. It also tells you that the short radius bisects the chord. The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the length of the side not shown (half the chord length).
The unknown side (a) can be found from ...
15² = 12² +a²
225 -144 = a² . . . . . . subtract 12²
81 = a² . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
9 = a . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root
The chord length is 2a, so is ...
2(9 cm) = 18 cm . . . . length of chord XY
Solve for y by setting one equation =to X after that you can substitute the equation into the other one let's set the first one in X= FORM
X-7y=10
-2x+14y=-20
Add 7y to both sides of the first equation to let x stand alone
X=7y+10
Now you can substitute x on the second equation
-2 (7y+10)+14y=-20
Distribute
-14y-20+14y=-20
Add and simplify
Us cancel out =0
-20=-20
0=0
They are the same equations you can also divide the second equation by -2 which would make it look like this
X-7y=10
-2 (x-7y=10)

Answers:
- C) x = plus/minus 11
- B) No real solutions
- C) Two solutions
- A) One solution
- The value <u> 18 </u> goes in the first blank. The value <u> 17 </u> goes in the second blank.
========================================================
Explanations:
- Note how (11)^2 = (11)*(11) = 121 and also (-11)^2 = (-11)*(-11) = 121. The two negatives multiply to a positive. So that's why the solution is x = plus/minus 11. The plus minus breaks down into the two equations x = 11 or x = -11.
- There are no real solutions here because the left hand side can never be negative, no matter what real number you pick for x. As mentioned in problem 1, squaring -11 leads to a positive number 121. The same idea applies here as well.
- The two solutions are x = 0 and x = -2. We set each factor equal to zero through the zero product property. Then we solve each equation for x. The x+2 = 0 leads to x = -2.
- We use the zero product property here as well. We have a repeated factor, so we're only solving one equation and that is x-3 = 0 which leads to x = 3. The only root is x = 3.
- Apply the FOIL rule on (x+1)(x+17) to end up with x^2+17x+1x+17 which simplifies fully to x^2+18x+17. The middle x coefficient is 18, while the constant term is 17.
Answer: Associative Property
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
15 people
Step-by-step explanation:
let x=total # of people on the team
80%=12
80/100=12/x
cross multiply
80x=1200
division property of equality (divide both sides by 80)
x=15
There are 15 people on the team.
