He should use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing length.
Since KT is tangent to the circle and TL reaches the center of circle L, the measure of angle LTK is 90 degrees. This means that triangle LTK is a right triangle which means the Pythagorean Theorem can be used.
So,
TL²+(12)²=(13)²
=> TL²+144=169
=> TL²=25
=> TL = 5
Therefore, the radius of circle L is 5 feet.
The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
0.0764
Explanation:
We will use a z-score to answer this. The formula for a z-score is
, where μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation. Using our information in this problem, we have
Using a z-table, we look up the z-score 1.43. The area under the curve to the left of, or less than, this value is 0.9236. This means the probability that the time is greater than this is 1-0.9236 = 0.0764.
Answer: the width of the uniform path is 9 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the width of the uniform path.
A pool measuring 18 meters by 22 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width. It means that the combined length of the pool and the uniform path is (18 + 2x) meters and the combined width of the pool and the uniform path is (22 + 2x) meters.
If the area of the pool and the path combined is 1440 square meters, it means that
(18 + 2x)(22 + 2x) = 1440
396 + 36x + 44x + 4x² = 1440
4x² + 80x + 396 - 1440 = 0
4x² + 80x - 1044 = 0
Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, it becomes
x² + 20x - 261 = 0
x² + 29x - 9x - 261 = 0
x(x + 29) - 9(x + 29) = 0
x - 9 = 0 or x + 29 = 0
x = 9 or x = 29
Since the width cannot be negative, then x = 9 meters
