Use the distributive property.

1/7(105 + r) = 20
15 + (1/7)r = 20

Then subtract each side of the equation by 15.

15 + (1/7)r = 20
(1/7)r = 5

Divide both sides by 1/7.

(1/7)r = 5

r = 35

So, the answer to this question is r is equal to 35.

In the right ΔABC, AN is the altitude to the hypotenuse. Find BN, AN, and AC, if AB=2√5 in and NC= 1 in.

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

$BN=4\ \text{in}$

$AN=2\ \text{in}$

$AC=\sqrt{5}\ \text{in}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $BN=x$

$BC=c$

$NC=y=1\ \text{in}$

$AB=a=2\sqrt{5}\ \text{in}$

$AC=b$

We have the relation

$\dfrac{BC}{AB}=\dfrac{AB}{BN}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{c}{a}=\dfrac{a}{x}\\\Rightarrow c=\dfrac{a^2}{x}\\\Rightarrow x+1=\dfrac{a^2}{x}\\\Rightarrow x^2+x=20\\\Rightarrow x^2+x-20=0\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2-4\times 1\times \left(-20\right)}}{2\times 1}\\\Rightarrow x=4,-5$

$\boldsymbol{BN=4\ \text{in}}$

$h=\sqrt{a^2-x^2}\\\Rightarrow h=\sqrt{(2\sqrt{5})^2-4^2}\\\Rightarrow h=2\ \text{in}$

$\boldsymbol{AN=2\ \text{in}}$

$b=\sqrt{h^2+y^2}\\\Rightarrow b=\sqrt{2^2+1^2}\\\Rightarrow b=\sqrt{5}\ \text{in}$

$\boldsymbol{AC=\sqrt{5}\ \text{in}}$

Circle Q is centered at the origin with radius r. Point P(x, y) lies on circle Q. Make a conjecture. How can you find an equatio

salantis [7]

Answer:

The relation $x^{2} +y^{2} =r^{2}$ is explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

P(x, y) is a point on the circle. Q is the origin. Join PQ.

PQ is the radius.

Therefore, PQ = r

Draw PS perpendicular to the x-axis.

Now, ΔPQS is a right triangle.

By Pythagoros theorem,

$PQ^{2}=PS^{2} +QS^{2}$

$r^{2}=x^{2} +y^{2}$

$x^{2} +y^{2} =r^{2}$
