Suppose that we have a right triangle $ABC$ with the right angle at $B$ such that $AC = \sqrt{61}$ and $AB = 5.$ A circle is dra

wn with its center on $AB$ such that the circle is tangent to $AC$ and $BC.$ If $P$ is the point where the circle and side $AC$ meet, then what is $CP$?

Answer:

  CP = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of segment BC is given by the Pythagorean theorem:

  AC² = AB² +BC²

  (√61)² = 5² + BC² . . . . . fill in the given numbers

  61 -25 = BC² = 36 . . . . .subtract 25

  BC = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

Since the center of the circle is on AB and is tangent to BC, it must pass through point B. That is, segment BC of length 6 is one of the tangent lines from point C. The other one, to point P, must be the same length, so ...

  CP = 6

¿Cuál es el volumen en pulgadas cúbicas de una esfera cuya circunferencia mide 64 pulgadas?
pochemuha

Answer:

4445.18 pulgadas cúbicas

Step-by-step explanation:

Paso 1

La fórmula para la circunferencia de una esfera = 2πr

Circunferencia de una esfera = 64 pulgadas

Por eso,

64 = 2πr

Por lo tanto, encontramos r

Dividir ambos lados por 2π

64 / 2π = 2πr / 2π

r = 10.185916358 pulgadas

Radio r = 10.2 pulgadas

Paso 2

Volumen de una esfera

= 4/3 × π × r³

r = 10.2 pulgadas

Por lo tanto, 4/3 × π × (10.2) ³

= 4445.18 pulgadas cúbicas

Por lo tanto, el volumen en pulgadas cúbicas de una esfera = 4445.18 pulgadas cúbicas

algol [13]
Peggy has 12 practice sessions

The first step is finding the unit rate. We can do this by evaluating

21/1.75 divided by 1.75/1.75.
When you divide the two, you get 12.

To check your work you do 12(1.75) and you will get 21
