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

Replace x in the equation with the given x values and solve for y:


3 + 2(4) = 11

3 + 2(5) = 13

3 + 2(9) = 21

3 + 2(10) = 23


the y values are: 11, 13, 21, 23

Answer: an infinity many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

If a system has infinitely many solutions, then the lines overlap at every point. In other words, they're the same exact line! This means that any point on the line is a solution to the system.
