Use Pythagorean Theorem:
a² + b² = c²
"a" is one side of the right triangle.
Its length is: radius of larger circle minus radius of smaller circle: (11 - 3 = 8)
The distance between the center of the circles creates the hypotenuse (17)
8² + b² = 17²
       b² = 225
       b = 15

Answer: the length of the common external tangent is 15.

You deposit $8500 in an account that pays 1.78% annual interest. Find the balance after 10 years when the interest is compounded
Feliz [49]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. let's call the balance A, the initial amount P, the yearly rate r, the number of compounds yearly n, and the time t.

step 2. A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) (compounding equation)

step 3. A = 8500(1 + .0178/12)^((12)(10))

step 4. A = 8500(1.00148334)^120

step 5. A = $10,154.68.

A student measures the mass of a sample as 9.67g. Calculate the percent error , given that the correct mass is 9.87. Show step-b
vova2212 [387]
In order to calculate this, you need to solve :

\frac{9.87 - 9.67}{9.87}   x 100 %

= 0.2 / 9.87    x 100 %

= 2.02 %

Hope this helps

A triangle has two sides of length 1 and 2. What compound inequality describes the possible lengths for the third side, x?Write
klemol [59]

Step-by-step explanation:

since in a triangle each side must be shorter than the sum of the other 2 sides (otherwise the end points cannot connect, and there is no triangle), the necessary inequality condition must be

side < 1 + 2 = 3

so,

side < 3

for a lower limit let's go through the cases

1 < 2 + side (is always true)

2 < 1 + side

1 < side (side must be larger than 1)

and again

side < 1 + 2 = 3

side < 3

so the full restriction for the third side is

1 < side < 3

A dairy wishes to mix together 1,000 pints of milk that contains 8% butterfat. if the mixture is to be made from milk containing
cricket20 [7]
We can write the question as a mathematical formula as follows:  
1000 * 0.08 = m * 0.05 + c * 0.2
 1000 = m + c  
where m are pints of milk and c are pints of cream 
 So solving the first equation with m = 1000 - c
 1000*0.08 = (1000-c)*0.05 + c*0.2
 80 = 50 - 0.05c + 0.2c
 80-50 = (0.2-0.05)*c
 30 = 0.15*c
 c = 30/0.15
 c = 200 
 m = 1000-200 = 800 
 So the dairy needs 800 pints of milk and 200 pints of cream
