Answer:

  about 37.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If the outside wheels are turning twice as fast, they go twice the distance in the same time. The distance they travel is proportional to the radius of the circle, so the outside circle must have twice the radius of the inside circle.

Adding 6 ft to the radius of the inside circle doubles the radius, so the inside circle's radius must be 6 feet. Then the circumference of the inside circle is ...

  C = 2πr = 2π(6 ft) = 12π ft ≈ 37.7 ft

A circle passes through points A(7,4), B(10,6), C(12,3). Show that AC must be the diameter of the circle.
Artist 52 [7]

so we have three points, A, B and C, if indeed AC is the diameter of the circle, then half the distance of AC is its radius, and the midpoint of AC is the center of the circle, morever, since B is also on the circle, the distance from B to the center must be the same radius distance.

in short, half the distance of AC must be equals to the distance of B to the midpoint of AC, if indeed AC is the diameter.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ A(\stackrel{x_1}{7}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad C(\stackrel{x_2}{12}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{12+7}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{3+4}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{19}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{7}{2} \right)=M\impliedby \textit{center of the circle}

now, let's check the distance from say A to the center, and check the distance of B to the center, if it's indeed the center, they'll be the same and thus AC its diameter.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ A(\stackrel{x_1}{7}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad M(\stackrel{x_2}{\frac{19}{2}}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{\frac{7}{2}})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ AM=\sqrt{\left( \frac{19}{2}-7 \right)^2+\left( \frac{7}{2}-4 \right)^2} \\\\\\ AM=\sqrt{\left( \frac{5}{2}\right)^2+\left( -\frac{1}{2} \right)^2}\implies \boxed{AM\approx 2.549509756796392} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ B(\stackrel{x_1}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad M(\stackrel{x_2}{\frac{19}{2}}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{\frac{7}{2}}) \\\\\\ BM=\sqrt{\left( \frac{19}{2}-10 \right)^2+\left( \frac{7}{2}-6 \right)^2} \\\\\\ BM=\sqrt{\left( -\frac{1}{2}\right)^2+\left( -\frac{5}{2} \right)^2}\implies \boxed{BM\approx 2.549509756796392}

Im trying to do IXL and I dont understand the way my teacher teaches (ironic right?)
dlinn [17]
Use the formula slope= y-y/x-x
-10-r/-2-8= 1/10
-10-r/-10= 1/10
Multiply the denominator (-10) on both sides
-10-r= -1
Add -10 to both sides
-r= 9
r= -9
Hope this helps!

Is this equation a linear function? If so give the intersepts 12x+3y=6
Katarina [22]
Dear Mendozaaj55, 12x + 3y = 6 is a linear function. To find the y-intercept set x = 0 and solve --> 3y = 6 --> y = 2. Therefore, the y-intercept is (0,2). To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve. 12x = 6 ---> x = .5---> the x-intercept is the coordinate (.5, 0). Best.
