Please refer to the picture I've attached.

When a circle is inscribed in a triangle, it means that the circle is drawn inside a triangle such that the midpoints of each side of the triangle are tangent to the circle. By doing this, you draw the biggest circle that could fit inside a triangle.

Now, the circle and the triangle have the same center illustrated here by the red dot. When you connect all sides of the triangle to the center (yellow lines), you create three equal angles. This is equal to 360 (one revolution) divided by 3, equals 120°. But when you create a perpendicular bisector from the center (black line), the angle is halved. It will now be 120/2 = 60°. Usually you are given the sides of the triangle. By using pythagorean theorems, you can find, therefore, the radius of the circle. To illustrate, the radius is equal to (s/2)/tan60.

Thus, the answer is: <span>To determine the radius of the circle.</span>

Cylinder A is mathematically similar to cylinder B. The height of cylinder A is 10cm and its surface area is 440cm2​ ​. The surf
Pie

Answer:

440 = 2\pi {r}^{2}  + 2\pi(r)10 \\

3960 = 2\pi {r}^{2}  + 2\pi(r)h

\frac{3960 = 2\pi {r}^{2}  + 2\pi(r)h}{440 = 2\pi {r }^{2} + 2\pi(r)10 }

9 =  \frac{h}{10}

h=90

Find the simple interest earned in a savings account that pays 5% interest if $500 is deposited for 4 years. A. $100, B. $1000,
g100num [7]
To calculate simple interest, you first need to multiply the original amount by the percentage of the money which is going to be added.

In this situation, 500 x 0.05 is the interest which will be added each year.
Therefore, $25 will be added each year. Since it is over 4 years, it is (25*4).
So the account will have earned $100 of simple interest.

Although the account will contain $600, it will have EARNED $100 of interest since it started with $500 already.

Answer - A $100 of simple interest will be earned.
