<h2>Answer:</h2>

The value of b is:

                          b = 4

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given the endpoints of a diameter as:

 (-1,-3) and (7,3)

Now, we know that the center of the circle lies in between the endpoints of the diameter of the circle.

Let the coordinates of center be: (x,y)

We know that if a point (x,y) lie in between (a,b) and (c,d) then the coordinates of point (x,y) is given by:

x=\dfrac{a+c}{2},\ y=\dfrac{b+d}{2}

Hence, the center of circle has coordinates:

x=\dfrac{-1+7}{2},\ y=\dfrac{-3+3}{2}\\\\x=\dfrac{6}{2},\ y=\dfrac{0}{2}\\\\x=3,\ y=0

Hence, the center of circle is located at  (3,0).

Also, the length of diameter with the help of distance formula is:

Diameter=\sqrt{(7-(-1))^2+(3-(-3))^2}\\\\Diameter=\sqrt{8^2+6^2}\\\\Diameter=\sqrt{64+36}\\\\Diameter=\sqrt{100}\\\\Diameter=10\ units

Now, we know that the length of radius is half the length of diameter.

Hence, Radius= 5 units

Hence, the equation of circle is:

(x-3)^2+(y-0)^2=5^2

i.e.

(x-3)^2+y^2=25

( Since, the equation of the circle with center (h,k) and radius r is given by:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2   )

Now, the point (0,b) lie on the circle i.e. the point satisfies the equation of circle.

Hence, we put (0,b) in the circle.

(0-3)^2+b^2=25\\\\9+b^2=25\\\\b^2=25-9\\\\b^2=16\\\\b=\pm 4

But b>0

Hence, we get:

b=4

1) use the distance formula to find that the radius (r) of the circle = 5

2) use the midpoint formula to find that the center of the circle (h,k) = (3, 0)

3) Now use the formula of a circle and input the (h,k) and r to create:

(x - 3)² + (y - 0)² = 5² → (x - 3)² + y² = 25

4) input the "x" value given in the question (x = 0) and solve for "y":

(0 - 3)² + y² = 25 → 9 + y² = 25 → y² = 16 → y = +/- 4

Since the question states that "b" must be positive, you can disregard the -4.

Answer: b = 4

Howe do I solve it 5=n/5+8
kvasek [131]

Answer:

n=-15

Step-by-step explanation:

5=n/5+8

subtract 8 on both sides

-3=n/5

multiply 5 on both sides

-15=n

Determine the most precise name for quadrilateral ABCD. Answers: parallelogram quadrilateral rhombus kite angles: (7,6) (3,5) (2
devlian [24]

Answer:

  rhombus

Step-by-step explanation:

It is helpful to plot the points on a graph. There, you can see that the rise and run of each segment are 1 and 4 (or vice versa). This tells you they are the same length, but not perpendicular.

A quadrilateral with all sides the same length, but not perpendicular, is a rhombus.

Hey all, can I get the answer + explanation for this? Would be much appreciated.
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

x = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's draw an imaginary dot in the middle of that <u>line</u> which runs between those two parallel lines, and now lets look at it as an angle.

This lines' angle is 180 degrees. Now lets move those two parallel lines together on the imaginary dot in the middle.

We can see that on the left side is one degree and the other side is another, however when we put them together we get the angle measurement of the our line which we identified was 180.

Now that we can see that our two angles must equal 180 when put together we know and can say that:

40 + (x + 20) = 180

So, lets work this out like basic algebra now.

40 + x + 20 = 180

       x + 60 = 180

           - 60   - 60

               x = 120

And voila we have our x value.

Hope this helps :)
