so we have three points, A, B and C, if indeed AC is the diameter of the circle, then half the distance of AC is its radius, and the midpoint of AC is the center of the circle, morever, since B is also on the circle, the distance from B to the center must be the same radius distance.

in short, half the distance of AC must be equals to the distance of B to the midpoint of AC, if indeed AC is the diameter.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ A(\stackrel{x_1}{7}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad C(\stackrel{x_2}{12}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{12+7}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{3+4}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{19}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{7}{2} \right)=M\impliedby \textit{center of the circle}

now, let's check the distance from say A to the center, and check the distance of B to the center, if it's indeed the center, they'll be the same and thus AC its diameter.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ A(\stackrel{x_1}{7}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad M(\stackrel{x_2}{\frac{19}{2}}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{\frac{7}{2}})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ AM=\sqrt{\left( \frac{19}{2}-7 \right)^2+\left( \frac{7}{2}-4 \right)^2} \\\\\\ AM=\sqrt{\left( \frac{5}{2}\right)^2+\left( -\frac{1}{2} \right)^2}\implies \boxed{AM\approx 2.549509756796392} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ B(\stackrel{x_1}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad M(\stackrel{x_2}{\frac{19}{2}}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{\frac{7}{2}}) \\\\\\ BM=\sqrt{\left( \frac{19}{2}-10 \right)^2+\left( \frac{7}{2}-6 \right)^2} \\\\\\ BM=\sqrt{\left( -\frac{1}{2}\right)^2+\left( -\frac{5}{2} \right)^2}\implies \boxed{BM\approx 2.549509756796392}

Prove usin's Mathematical induction 2^n ≤(n+1)!, for n≥0​
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2^0 is less than or equal to 1!, because 1<= 1

if 2^n <= (n+1)!, we wish to show that 2^(n+1) <= (n+2)!, since

(n+2)! = (n+1)! * (n+2), and (n+1)!>= 2^n, then we want to prove that n+2<=2, which is always true for n>=0

A circular pan has a diameter of 8 inches. What is the exact area of the pan?
NISA [10]
You would divide the diameter in half to get the radius which is 4. And do the formula which is a=pie(r) squared. So the answer would be 50.24

How many kilograms is a rice packet that weighs 750 g?<br> (Please answer quick!)
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

0.750 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there ,

As you know 1 kg = 1000g

So when we convert g to kg then we divide the given value of grams by 1000.

So in this case we have 750 grams, changing it we have :

\frac{750}{1000}

Since there are 3 zeroes in 1000 we move the decimal point by 3 places to the left leaving the answer as : 0.750 kg or \frac{750}{1000} kg

Please mark me as brainliest if you found the above answer helpful
