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.

Questions 13 and 17 if anybody knows ?

13) If T(n) = 2n-7, what is the 5th term?
n is the number of the term you are looking for. In this instance, n is equal to 5.

T(5) = 2(5) - 7
T(5) = 10 -7
T(5) = 3

The 5th term is 3.

17) inequality based on the line number.
Since the line does not extend in any direction outward. It means that the range should be within -3 and 3. 
Solid circle means that -3 is equivalent to x
hollow ciccle means that 3 is not x.

-3 <u><</u> x < 3

x = any number from -3 upto 2.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

20 diamonds

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the sash when it is completed = 8 feet

Joseph wants to add a diamond shape every 0.4 feet along the sash.

We need to find no of diamonds the sash have when it is completed. It can be calculated by dividing total length by 0.4 feet. As a result,

n = 8/0.4

n = 20

Hence, 20 diamonds the sash will have when it is completed
