Answer:

The correct option is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure it is noticed that the radius of a circle is 11 inches and the centers of two circles are 20 inches apart. The length of the direct common tangent between both circles is 19 inches.

If the centers of two circles of radius r₁ and r₂ are d units apart, then the length of the direct common tangent between them is

l=\sqrt{d^{2}-(r_{1}-r_{2})^{2}}

19=\sqrt{20^{2}-(11-r_{2})^{2}}

Square both sides.

361=400-(11-r_{2})^{2}

(11-r_{2})^{2}=400-361

(11-r_{2})^{2}=39

Tnking square root both sides.

11-r=\sqrt{39}

11-6.245=r

4.775=r

r\approx 4.8

Therefore the radius of second circle is 4.8 inches and option 3 is correct.

A bicycle shop sells only bicycles and tricycles. Altogther there are 23 seats and 50 wheels. How many bicycles and tricycles ar
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The number of bicycles is 19.

and the number of tricycles is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the number of seats in bicycles as well as in tricycles is 1.

The number of wheels in bicycles is 2

and the number of wheels in tricycles is 3.

Let the number of bicycles be x.

and the number of tricycles be y.

Thus using the given information we can make equation as,

x + y = 23

and, 2x + 3y = 50

Solving these two equations:

We get, x = 19 and y = 4

Thus the number of bicycles is 19.

and the number of tricycles is 4.

g100num [7]

Answer:

  $24,498,509.74

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the value as a function of time is ...

  V(t) = P·e^(rt)

Filling in the numbers and doing the arithmetic, we have ...

  V(35) = 3,000,000·e^(0.06·35) ≈ 24,498,509.74

Compounded continuously for 35 years, the investment will be worth $24,498,509.74.
