Answer:
17 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 congruent chords in the circle, then they are equidistant from the centre and perpendicular
There is a right triangle formed by legs 15 and 8, with radius r being the hypotenuse.
Using Pythagoras' identity in this right angle
r² = 15² + 8² = 225 + 64 = 289 ( take the square root of both sides )
r = = 17
option B) 3 pounds of beef is needed to make 6 times the recipe.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
<u>step 1 </u>:
Mitch used 14 pounds of beef = 34 liters of beef strogonoff
'x' pounds of beef = 1 liter of beef strogonoff
<u>step 2</u> :
Rate = No. of pounds / No. of liters
(14 pounds / 34 liters) = (x pounds / 1 liter)
x = 14/34
x = 0.412
1 liter of beef strogonoff = 0.412 pounds of beef
<u>step 3</u> :
To make 6 times the recipe = 6 0.412
= 2.5 pounds of beef ( approximately 3 pounds)
