Answer:

52 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For each chord, the product of segment lengths is a constant. We can find that constant as the product of the segment lengths of the bisected chord:

(24 ft)·(24 ft) = 576 ft^2

Then the missing segment length (DX) of the diameter chord is ...

DX·(36 ft) = 576 ft^2

DX = (576 ft^2)/(36 ft) = 16 ft

So, the total length of the diameter chord is ...

DX +XL = 16 ft + 36 ft

DL = 52 ft

_____

We know DL is a diameter because the perpendicular bisector of any chord intersects the center of the circle.

The volume of a 10 ounce box of cheerios is 258.75in3. the length of the box is 4 inches less than the height and the width is 3

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Height of the box = 11.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the height of the box.

Assuming the volume of the Box is $258.75\ in^3$ .

Given:

Length = Height - 4 = h - 4

Width = 3 in

We need to find the height of the box.

Solution:

We know that the volume of the box.

$Volume = Length\times height\times width$

Substitute all given value in above formula.

$258.75 = (h-4)\times h\times 3$

Rewrite the equation as:

$258.75 = 3h(h-4)$

$258.75 = 3h^2-12h$

$3h^2-12h-258.75=0$

whole equation divided by 3.

$h^2-4h-86.25=0$

Use quadratic formula with $a = 1, b = -4,c=-86.25$

$h=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{(b)^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

Put these a, b and c value in above equation.

$h=\frac{-(-4)\pm \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(1)(-86.25)}}{2(1)}$

$h=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{16+345}}{2}$

$h=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{361}}{2}$

$h=\frac{4\pm 19}{2}$

For positive sign

$h=\frac{23}{2}$

h = 11.5 in

For negative sign

$h=\frac{-15}{2}$

h = -7.5

We take positive value of h.

Therefore, the height of the box h = 11.5 in

You put the names of all the students in your class in a paper bag. There are 16 boys and 18 girls. If you draw a name at random

yaroslaw [1]

It would be a. 8/9 because for every 8/9 boy, there is 1 girl. To check this work, you can do 8/9 x 18 which equals 16.

Help please posted picture of question

bagirrra123 [75]

The given equation is:

y = -10x + 1
Slope of this equation = -10

New line will be perpendicular to this line, so slope of new line = 1/10

So, we are to find the equation of a line with slope 1/10 and passing through (5,7). Using the point slope form we can write

y - 7 = 1/10 ( x - 5)
y = x/10 -1/2 + 7
y = x/10 + 13/2
⇒
x/10 - y = -13/2

So option C gives the correct equation of the new line
