With that information you can determine how far the park is from the football field.
Call h the height of the triangle, x the distance from the park to the football field and y the distance from the park to the home of Kristen.
Using Pithagora's theorem, ou can state this system of equations:
1) From the complet triangle: x^2 + y^2 = (8 + 2)^2 = 10^2 = 100
2) From the triangle whose hypotenuse is the distance from the park to the football field:
x^2 = 8^2 + h^2
3) From the triangle whose hypotenuse is the distance from the park to the home of Kristen:
y^2 = 2^2 + h^2
To solve the system start by subtracting equation 3) from equation 1) =>
x^2 + y^2 = 100
y^2 = 4 + h^2
---------------------
x^2 = 100 - 4 - h^2
x^2 = 96 - h^2
Now sum this result to equation 2
x^2 = 96 - h^2
x^2 = 64 + h^2
---------------------
2x^2 = 96 + 64
2x^2 = 160
=> x^2 = 80
=> x = 8.94
Answer: 8.94 miles
ANSWER:
32
EXPLANATION:
8 people jog and do Aerobics
24 jog but don’t do aerobics
So, 8+24= 32
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
??What is parallel to a point?
If the cut is parallel to the cut-off point, the cross-section is a rectangle.
Answer:
The length of the chord is 16 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically, a line from the center of the circle to a chord divides the chord into 2 equal portions
From the first part of the question, we can get the radius of the circle
The radius form the hypotenuse, the two-portions of the chord (12/2 = 6 cm) and the distance from the center to the chord forms the other side of the triangle
Thus, by Pythagoras’ theorem; the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides
Thus,
r^2 = 8^2 + 6^2
r^2= 64 + 36
r^2 = 100
r = 10 cm
Now, we want to get a chord length which is 6 cm away from the circle center
let the half-portion that forms the right triangle be c
Using Pythagoras’ theorem;
10^2 = 6^2 + c^2
c^2 = 100-36
c^2 = 64
c = 8
The full
length of the chord is 2 * 8 = 16 cm
That's a huge one. I don't think that anyone will actually answer that.
