Mathematics
1 answer:
Alex3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x= 6.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

When a tangent line touches the circle, it forms a right angle triangle at that point

Apply the Pythagorean relationship in this case

Given that the height is = 20.2 cm = b

The hypotenuse is = c= x+14.7 cm

General formulae is;

a² +b² =c²

x² + 20.2² =( x+ 14.7)²

x² + 408.04= x² +14.7x+14.7x+216.09

x² + 408.04= x² + 29.4 x +216.09.........................collect like terms

x²-x² + 408.04-216.09= 29.4x

191.95= 29.4x-------------------------------divide by 29.4 t0 get x

191.95/29.4 =x

x=6.5 cm

A motorboat takes 5 hours to travel 100mi going upstream. The return trip takes 2 hours going downstream. What is the rate of th
Temka [501]
The boat went 5hours upstream, let's say it has a "still water" speed rate of "b", it went 100miles... however, going upstream is going against the current, let's say the current has a speed rate of "c"

so, when the boat was going up, it wasn't really going "b" fast, it was going " b - c " fast, because the current was eroding speed from it

now, when coming down, the return trip, well the length is the same, so the distance is also 100miles, it only took 2hrs though, because, the boat wasn't coming down  "b" fast, it was coming down " b + c " fast, because the current was adding speed to it, so it came down quicker

now, recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}&#10;&distance&rate&time\\&#10;&-----&-----&-----\\&#10;upstream&100&b-c&5\\&#10;downstream&100&b+c&2&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;100=(b-c)5\\&#10;\qquad \frac{100}{5}=b-c\\&#10;\qquad 20=b-c\\&#10;\qquad 20+c=\boxed{b}\\&#10;100=(b+c)2\\&#10;\qquad 50=b+c\\&#10;\qquad 50=\boxed{20+c}+c&#10;\end{cases}

solve for "c", to see what's the current's speed

what's "b"?  well 20+c = b
