Which is a secant of circle A?

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer: line CD (fourth choice)

====================================================

Let's go through the choices one by one

1) Segment AB is a radius, which is not a secant line. We can rule this out.

2) line DE is a tangent line which only touches the circle at exactly one spot. We need something that cuts the circle in 2 spots for it to be a secant line. This can also be crossed off the list.

3) segment HG is a chord, which is fairly close to a secant line, but it must extend infinitely in both directions. In other words, it needs to be a line instead of a line segment. This is crossed off the list.

4) line CD is a secant line. It is a geometric line in that it goes on forever in both directions (it's not a segment, and not a ray either). Also, this line crosses the circle at 2 points, which contrasts it from a tangent line. This is the answer we want.

A piece of wood is divided into two pieces in the ratio of 2:5. One piece is 10 cm long so how long is the other piece?
klio [65]

Answer:

The length of the pother piece of the wood is 25 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of a piece of wood is x such that the ratio of two pieces is 2:5. Two pieces are 2x and 5 x

Length of the first piece is 10 cm. It means, 2x = 10 i.e. x = 5

We have considered that the length of other piece is 5x. It means 5×5 = 25 cm.

Hence, the length of the pother piece of the wood is 25 cm

multiplying by negative exponents can be a little tricky. So (1/4x)^-2 becomes 16/x^2 = __/x^2 so the missing number is 16
