Answer:
1) x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the Pythagorean thm for these questions. Where a and b are the legs (So order doesn't matter), and where c is the hypotenuse
1)
a² + b² = c²
9² + 12² = x²
81 + 144 = x²
x² = 225
You square root each side so you can get rid of the exponent on x.
x = 15
Answer:
Gregoire is correct; the diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the sphere.
Step-by-step explanation:
A sphere is a geometrical shape formed from a circle. Some of its parts are: diameter, center, radius circumference, etc.
The center of a sphere is a point at its middle. The diameter is a straight line, e.g a chord, that is drawn from one point on the circumference of a sphere to another point and passes through its center. While radius is a line that is from the center of the sphere to a point on its circumference.
A diameter is twice of a radius, so that:
Radius =
⇒ Diameter = 2 × Radius
Therefore with respect to the question, Gregoire is correct because a diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the sphere.
