Present age of Selma = s

Present age of Joyce = j

Selma is now 3 times as old as joyce

s=3j........(1)

Four years ago,

s-4=j-4

then

Selma was 4 times as old as joyce

s-4=4(j-4)

s-4=4j-16

s=4j-16+4

s=4j-12.............(2)

Put the value of s in (2) from (1)

3j=4j-12

3j-4j=-12

-j=-12

Multiply by -1 both sides

j=12

Put the value of j in (1)

s=3j

s=3(12)

s=36

Present age of Selma = s = 36 years old

Present age of Joyce = j = 12 years old

If a diameter intersects a chord of a circle at a perpendicular, what conclusion can be made?
Agata [3.3K]

If a diameter intersects a chord of a circle at a perpendicular then the chord is bisected.

<h3>What is the relation between the chord and diameter of a circle?</h3>
  • The segments of a circle whose endpoints are on its perimeter are called chords.
  • A circle's diameter is the chord that passes across its center.
  • The circle's longest chord equals its diameter.
  • Any line that is perpendicular to a chord on the circle cuts it in half and goes through the center.

The solution to the problem:

A circle's chord is intersected perpendicularly by its diameter, which also passes through the center of the circle. The chord and diameter are perpendicular. Any line that is perpendicular to a chord on the circle and passes through its center divides it. The chord is divided equally by the diameter.

Therefore, the chord is bisected.

Expand and simplify : A) (x+7)(x+10). B) (X-3) (X-9)
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Using the foil method and distribution, you should get x²+10x+7x+70 from (X×X)+(X×10)+(X×7)+(7×10). When you combine these like terms, you get x²+17x+70.

B) Using the same ideology from part A, when you multiply x-3 into x-9. you should get x²-9x-3x+27. Simplifying this will give you x²-12x+27.
