1. By definition, the chord of a circle is a segment that joins the two points of an arch and if it passes through the center of the circle, is called "diameter". There is a formula that you can use to find the chord lenght. This is:

Chord lenght=2rSin(A/2)

2. Let's convert the angle from degrees to radians:

75°π/180°=5π/12

3. So, you have:

r: It is the radius of the circle (r=100 feet).
Sin: It is the sine function.
A: It is the angle subtended at the center by the chord (A=5π/12).

4. When you substitute these values into the formula (Chord lenght=2rSin(A/2)), you obtain the chord lenght:

Chord lenght=2rSin(A/2)
Chord lenght=2(200 feet)(Sin(5π/12/2))

5. Therefore lenght of the chord is:
Chord lenght=18.2706 feet

The average density of the material in intergalactic space is approximately 2.5 × 10–27 kg/m3. what is the volume of a lead samp

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

e. $1.8\times 10^{-6}m^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The density of intergalactic space material is $2.5 \times 10^{-27}$ kg per cubic meter.

And the volume of intergalactic space material is $8.0\times 10^{24} m^3$

So the mass of that much intergalactic space material is,

$m= \rho\times v$ , where 'm' is the mass, and 'v' is the volume.

Putting the values we get,

$m=2.5 \times 10^{-27}\times 8.0 \times 10^{24}$

$m=20\times 10^{(-27+24)}=20\times 10^{-3} kg$

It is also given that the mass of lead is the same as the mass of the intergalactic space material. Therefore, the mass of lead is $20 \times 10^{-3}=2 \times 10^{-2}kg$

So the volume of lead is,

$v=\frac{m}{\rho} =\frac{2 \times 10^{-2}}{11300} = 0.00000177 m^3$

$v=1.77 \times 10^{-6}=1.8\times 10^{-6}m^3$

So the volume of lead is $v=1.8\times 10^{-6}m^3$ .

A parabola has a vertex at (4, 0) and passes through the point (6, 1). Which of the following is the equation of this parabola i

Doss [256]

Easy

y=a(x-h)^2+k
vertex is (h,k)
we know that vertex is (4,0)
input that point for (h,k)
y=a(x-4)^2+0
y=a(x-4)^2
passes thorugh the point (6,1)
input that point to find a
1=a(6-4)^2
1=a(2)^2
1=a(4)
divide both sides by 4
1/4=a

thefor the equation is
y=(1/4)(x-4)^2
or
y=(1/4)x^2-2x+4
