which inequality? where the question ?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
17.8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
In the 17 hours between heights of 18.6 cm and 15.2 cm, the candle lost 3.4 cm in height. That is, the height decreased at the rate of ...
(-3.4 cm)/(17 h) = -0.2 cm/h
In the 4 hours between 12 hours and 16 hours of burning time, the candle will have changed its height by (4 h)(-0.2 cm/h) = -0.8 cm.
The height at 16 hours of burning is then 18.6 cm -0.8 cm = 17.8 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
In both cases,
(as a consequence of the interesecting secant-tangent theorem)
So we have
10.
(omit the negative solution because that would make at least one of AB or AD have negative length)
11.
(again, omit the solutions that would give a negative length for either AB or AD)
$17.40
I'm not 100% sure on this answer, but I don't think anyone else will be answering.
