A square and a circle intersect so that each side of the square contains a chord of the circle equal in length to the radius of
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that Square contains a chord of of the circle equal to the radius thus from diagram

QR=chord =radius =R

If Chord is equal to radius then triangle PQR is an equilateral Triangle

Thus QO=\frac{R}{2}=RO

In triangle PQO applying Pythagoras theorem

(PQ)^2=(PO)^2+(QO)^2

PO=\sqrt{(PQ)^2-(QO)^2}

PO=\sqrt{R^2-\frac{R^2}{4}}

PO=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}R

Thus length of Side of square =2PO=\sqrt{3}R

Area of square=(\sqrt{3}R)^2=3R^2

Area of Circle=\pi R^2

Ratio of square to the circle=\frac{3R^2}{\pi R^2}=\frac{3}{\pi }

What kind of solution is -4x-4=-7(x+4) ?
natima [27]

~ Simplifying

-4x + -4 = -7(x + 4)

~ Reorder the terms:

-4 + -4x = -7(x + 4)

~ Reorder the terms:

-4 + -4x = -7(4 + x)

-4 + -4x = (4 * -7 + x * -7)

-4 + -4x = (-28 + -7x)

~ Solving

-4 + -4x = -28 + -7x

~ Solving for variable 'x'.

~ Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

~ Add '7x' to each side of the equation.

-4 + -4x + 7x = -28 + -7x + 7x

~ Combine like terms: -4x + 7x = 3x

-4 + 3x = -28 + -7x + 7x

~ Combine like terms: -7x + 7x = 0

-4 + 3x = -28 + 0

-4 + 3x = -28

~ Add '4' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 4 + 3x = -28 + 4

~ Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0

0 + 3x = -28 + 4

3x = -28 + 4

~ Combine like terms: -28 + 4 = -24

3x = -24

~ Divide each side by '3'.

x = -8

~ Simplifying

x = -8

the rectangle shown has an area of 105 square inches. the width is x+ 16 inches and the length is x. find the dimensions of the
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Length = 5

Width = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

(x)(x + 16) = 105

x^2 + 16x = 105

x^2 + 16x - 105 = 0

(x - 5) x ( x + 21) = 0

x - 10 = 0

x = 5

x + 21 = 0

x = -21

Now that we have the zeroes.

We have to find the most viable one to put in.

Using -21 would not make sense, so we will use 5.

Plug it in:

x = 5

(5) (5 + 16) = 105

5 ( 21) = 105
