The correct answer would be C: 1 2/5
Answer:
The length of the chord is 16 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically, a line from the center of the circle to a chord divides the chord into 2 equal portions
From the first part of the question, we can get the radius of the circle
The radius form the hypotenuse, the two-portions of the chord (12/2 = 6 cm) and the distance from the center to the chord forms the other side of the triangle
Thus, by Pythagoras’ theorem; the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides
Thus,
r^2 = 8^2 + 6^2
r^2= 64 + 36
r^2 = 100
r = 10 cm
Now, we want to get a chord length which is 6 cm away from the circle center
let the half-portion that forms the right triangle be c
Using Pythagoras’ theorem;
10^2 = 6^2 + c^2
c^2 = 100-36
c^2 = 64
c = 8
The full
length of the chord is 2 * 8 = 16 cm
The problem statement gives you the relationship between their speeds, and it gives you information you can use to find their total speed. You solve this by finding the total speed, then the proportion of that belonging to Bill.
The total speed is (120 mi)/(3 h) = 40 mi/h.
The speed ratio is ...
... Bill : Joe = 3 : 1
so the speed ratio Bill : Total is ...
... 3 : (3+1) = 3:4.
Bill's speed is (3/4)×(40 mi/h) = 30 mi/h.
Step-by-step explanation:
3 + 3(k + 3) = 6(k - 2) + 9
3 + 3k + 9 = 6k - 12 + 9
12 + 12 - 9 = 6k - 3k
15 = 3k
k = 15/3
k = 5
