The picture in the attached figure

we know that
If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment
so
DC²=BC*CA-----> CA=DC²/BC
DC=25
BC=14
CA=25²/14-----> CA=44.64
CA=BC+BA----> BA=CA-BC----> BA=44.64-14----> BA=30.64

BA is the diameter
hence
the length of diameter BA is 30.64----> round to the nearest tenth---> 30.6

the answer is
the length of diameter BA is 30.6

Integers are written without no fractional components so 12 is an integer .

Natural numbers are positive numbers just like the number we count. 12 is a natural number.

Evaluating the Six Trigonometric Function Question attached

ziro4ka [17]

If tan theta is -1, we know immediately that theta is in either Quadrant II or Q IV. We need to focus on Q IV due to the restrictions on theta.

Because tan theta is -1, the ray representing theta makes a 45 degree angle with the horiz axis, and a 45 degree angle with the negative vert. axis. Thus the hypotenuse, by the Pythagorean Theorem, tells us that the hyp is sqrt(2).
Thus, the cosine of theta is adj / hyp, or +1 / sqrt(2), or [sqrt(2)]/2

The secant of theta is the reciprocal of that, and thus is

2 sqrt(2)
---------- * ------------ = sqrt(2) (answer)
sqrt(2) sqrt(2)

an employee adds 160 fluid ounces of chemical to a feature that holds 120,000 gallons of water. did the employee add yhe correct

Hitman42 [59]

We are given a volume of 160 fluid ounces of chemical which is added to a container that holds 120,000 gallons of water. Assuming that the chemical has the same density as water, we just need to convert 120,000 gallons to ounces.

A conversion factor is taken from literature, 1 gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces. So 160 fluid ounces is only 1.25 gallons, thus occupying minimal space in the container. The employee could add more of the chemical in the container. He can actually add 15360000 fluid ounces in total.
