<h3>Answer: QS is 37 units long</h3>
=========================================
Explanation:
PN = 24 and NR = 14 are pieces of the chord PR. The two pieces multiply to some value. At the same time, the other two pieces QN = 21 and NS = 2x-4 also multiply to that same value. In short, the chord pieces multiply to the same number. This is known as the intersecting chord theorem.
PN*NR = QN*NS
24*14 = 21*(2x-4)
336 = 42x-84
336+84 = 42x-84+84 .... add 84 to both sides
420 = 42x
42x = 420
42x/42 = 420/42 ...... divide both sides by 42
x = 10
We know that x = 10 so we can use it to find the length of NS
NS = 2x-4
NS = 2*10-4
NS = 20-4
NS = 16
Therefore,
QS = QN + NS
QS = 21 + 16
QS = 37
--------
note: as a check,
PN*NR = QN*NS
24*14 = 21*16
336 = 336
we get a true equation, so we have the proper values
Sure what is it there is no pictuer
X + y = 180
x = 4y
Plug that in and you get: 4y + y = 180
5y = 180
y = 36
If you want the larger angle, simply plug in y to x = 4y
So: x = 4(36) = 144
The smaller angle is 36 degrees, and the larger angle is 144 degrees.
Number three is D and number 4 is also D.
Explanation for number three:
When you divide 12 by 3, you get 4. This gives us the number we need to multiply 10 by to get our answer. 10 x 4 = 40
Explanation for number 4:
In the last question, the first step to getting to the answer was to divide the first two numbers. This is no different. When you divide 32.5 by 5, you get 6.5. Then you multiply 10 and 6.5, which equals 65.
Answer:
(C)72.4 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Given an acute triangle in which the longest side measures 30 inches; and the other two sides are congruent.
Consider the attached diagram
AB=BC=x
However to be able to solve for x, we form a right triangle with endpoints A and C.
Since the hypotenuse is always the longest side in a right triangle
Hypotenuse, AC=30 Inches
Using Pythagoras Theorem
Therefore, the smallest possible perimeter of the triangle
Perimeter=2x+30
=2(21.21)+30
=42.42+30
=72.4 Inches (rounded to the nearest tenth)
