The diameter of the plate is 9.24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the radius to be 'r'

Angle = 120°

Chord length = 8 inches

Chord length = 2rsin(θ/2)

8 = 2r sin(120/2)

8 = 2r sin60°

8/2 = r (√3/2)

4/(√3/2) = r

r = 8/√3

r = 8/1.73

r = 4.62 inches

Diameter of the plate = 2(4.62)

= 9.24 inches

The diameter of the plate is 9.24 inches

In the right triangle above a=2.7 and b=4.3. Find the value of c, rounded to the nearest tenth
morpeh [17]

Answer:

  5.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is no diagram provided here, we assume that c is the length of the hypotenuse, so we have ...

  c² = a² +b² . . . . . . Pythagorean theorem

  c² = 2.7² +4.3² = 25.78

  c = √25.78 ≈ 5.0774

  c ≈ 5.1
