A tangent intersects a circle at only one point, while a chord intersects the circle at two points. Also, a chord is contained within a circle, but a tangent is outside the circle, except for the point of tangency, which lies on the circle. Hope this helps :)

Hello!

1. A chord is a ray joining 2 points situated on a given curve.
 
2. A tangent is a ray that passes through only one point situated on the curve.

The area of a rectangle is 54 m2 , and the length of the rectangle is 3 m more than twice the width. find the dimensions of the
Elina [12.6K]
L = 3 + 2w

Find the width
Area = 54
l × w = 54
(3 + 2w) × w = 54
3w + 2w^2 = 54
2w^2 + 3w - 54 = 0
(2w - 9)(w + 6) = 0
w = 9/2 or w = -6 (width shouldn't be negative)
w = 9/2
w = 4.5 m

Find the length
l = 3 + 2w
l = 3 + 2(4.5)
l = 3 + 9
l = 12 m

The width is 4.5 m, the length is 12 m

area of cross section x 2 = 4 x 3 12 m^2

area of slope:  5m x 8m = 40m^2

area of base: 8 X 3 = 24 m^2

area of back: 8m x 4m = 32m^2

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Car 1 : 40 miles per gallon

Car 2: 25 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

family has two cars. During one particular week, the first car consumed 15 gallons of gas. The second car consumed 25 gallons of gas. The two cars Drove a combined total of 1475 miles and the sum of their fuel efficiency was 65 miles per gallon. What were the fuel efficiency of each of the cars that week

Given that :

Fuel efficiency , car 1 = x

Fuel efficiency , car 2 = y

x + y = 65 - - (1)

15x + 35y = 1475 - - - (2)

x = 65 - y

15(65-y) + 35y

975 - 15y + 35y = 1475

20y = 14875 - 975

20y = 500

y = 25

Put y = 25 in (1)

x + y = 65

x + 25 = 65

x = 65 - 25

x = 40

Lin bought 1 pretzel from a snack cart that was marked $4.50. Why did she pay $4.83?
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Sales tax

Step-by-step explanation:

You might have like 3% sales tax which is 3 percent of the original price added back onto it.

Sales tax is a tax that is put onto wanted and gourmet things, so chocolate isn't a needed item in life, so you have sales tax on it. On something like bread or meat, there might not be sales tax since you need food to survive. If something cost $100, and there is 3% sales tax, you will pay 103 dollars since 0.03 of 100 is 3.
