Answer:

<h2>11.72cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a chord of distance of 15cm, if it is 9cm from the center of a circle, this means that the 9cm length will be projecting from the centre of the circle perpendicular to the chord and passing through its centre.

Since the radius of a circle is a line that is drawn from the centre of a circle to ts circumference, the set up will form a right angles triangle within the circle with the hypotenuse as the radius and the other two sides as the opposite and adjacent respectively. Using the Pythagoras theorem to get the length of the radius (hypotenuse);

hyp² = opp² + adj²

Let the opposite be the 9cm length

Adjacent will be half of the chord length = 15/2 = 7.5cm

Substituting this values into the formula we will have;

hyp² = 9² + 7.5²

hyp² = 81+56.25

hyp² = 137.25

hyp² = √137.25

hyp = 11.72

<em></em>

<em>Hence the radius of the circle is approximately 11.72 cm long</em>

If sin(x) = cos(y) for acute angles x and y, how are the angles related?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

b. complementary

Step-by-step explanation:

-Complementary angles are angles that add up to 90°.

-These are usually the two acute angles in the right triangle.

#To verify, lets take the two angles 30° and 60°:

Cos \ 60\textdegree=0.5\\\\Sin \ 30\textdegree=0.5\\\\\therefore Sin \ 30\textdegree=Cos \ 60 \textdegree=0.5

#We can reverse as:

Sin \ 60\textdegree=0.86603\\\\Cos \ 30\textdegree=0.86603\\\\\therefore Sin \ 60\textdegree=Cos \ 30\textdegree=0.86603

Hence, two angles are said to be complimentary if they sum up to 90°.
