Answer:  The correct option is (B) 3.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given a circle X with radius 5 units and chord AB with length 8 units.

We are to find the length of segment XC that bisects chord.

We know that the line segment drawn from the center of a circle to the midpoint of a chord is perpendicular to the chord.

So, in the given circle X, the segment XC is perpendicular to chord AB. Then, triangle  XCB will be a right angled triangle with hypotenuse XB.

Since XC bisects AB, so the length of BC will be

BC=\dfrac{AB}{2}=\dfrac{8}{2}=4~\textup{units}.

And, radius, XB = 5 units.

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle XCB, we have

XB^2=XC^2+BC^2\\\\\Rightarrow XC^2=XB^2-BC^2\\\\\Rightarrow XC^@=5^2-4^2\\\\\Rightarrow XC^2=9\\\\\Rightarrow XC^2=3^2\\\\\Rightarrow XC=3.

Thus, the length of the segment XC is 3 units.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Is 3/47 rational number
BabaBlast [244]
<span>In the question of whether "3/47 is a rational number" - the answer is "yes". The definition for a rational number used in mathematics is that it can be expressed as a fraction in which both the nominator and the denominator are natural numbers , and this is the case here- both 3 and 47 are natural numbers, so 3/47 is a rational number. </span>

Ann weighs 259 pounds but is only 5 feet 3 inches tall. Betty is 6 feet tall. How much would you expect Betty to weigh if they h
Tom [10]

Answer:

D. 296.00 LBS

Step-by-step explanation:

We convert both heights to inches.

1 ft = 12 in.

5 ft 3 in = 5 × 12 in. + 3 in. = 63 in.

6 ft = 6 × 12 in. = 72 in.

\dfrac{63~in.}{259~lb} = \dfrac{72~in.}{x}

\dfrac{63x}{259} = 72~lb

x = \dfrac{259 \times 72~lb}{63}

x = 296~lb

Answer: D. 296.00 LBS

Simplify 2/x+3 - 3/x-5
Arada [10]
First, you should equalize the denominator of first and second fraction. If the denominator multiplies by (x-5), so does the numerator. If the denominator multiplies by (x+3), so does the numerator.
(Look into my attachment at the second row)

Second, simplify the algebraic form for the numerator.
(Look into my attachment at the fourth row)

Third, simplify the denominator
(Look into my attachment at the last row)
