Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The length of segment AC is 10 units ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Look to the attached figure

In circle A

∵ AB is a radius

∵ BC is a tangent to circle A at B

- The radius and the tangent are perpendicular to each other

    at the point of contact

∴ AB ⊥ BC at point B

∴ m∠ABC = 90°

In ΔABC

∵ m∠B = 90°

∵ AB = 8 units

∵ BC = 6 units

- By using Pythagoras Theorem (Square the hypotenuse is

    equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of

     the triangle)

∵ (AC)² = (AB)² + (BC)²

∴ (AC)² = (8)² +(6)²

∴ (AC)² = 64 + 36

∴ (AC)² = 100

- Take √ for both sides

∴ AC = 10 units

The length of segment AC is 10 units

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

53 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If the bird is flying 33 feet above sea level, and the diver is 20 feet below it would be 53 because you have to imagine right at sea level is a zero and 20 below with 33 above would equal 53

Can someone help me?!!! I need help!! ASAP
german

Answer:

x=4.6

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1 : calculate angle P since you know 2 angles

Step 2 : 57° - 90° = 180° [interior angles of a triangle ]

Step 3 : x/sin(33°) =7.1/sin(57°)

: x= 7.1Sin(33°)/sin(57°)

: x=4.6

The function y=16x squared + 36 represents the height y (in feet) of an apple x seconds after falling from a tree. Find and inte
MissTica
Y = 16x^2 + 36
Lets find the intercepts, making x and y to zero and solving:
<span>0 = 16x^2 + 36
</span><span>16x^2 = -36
</span>therefore there is not x-intercept, that is, when y equals zero the function does not have a value, is not defined.
Now, the y intercept, that is when x equals zero:
<span>y = 16x^2 + 36
</span><span>y = 16(0)^2 + 36
</span>y = 36
so, when x = 0, y = 36, that is, the function hits the y axis when x = 0
