Given:

JK is tangent to a circle with center H

To find:

The length of HK.

Solution:

The image is attached below.

JK = 8 mi, HJ = 15 mi

JK is tangent to a circle.

The tangent is always perpendicular to the radius.

Therefore, m∠J = 90°

Using Pythagoras theorem:

HK² = JK² + HJ²

HK² = 8² + 15²

HK² = 64 + 225

HK² = 289

HK² = 17²

Taking square root on both sides.

HK = 17

The length of HK is 17 mi.

Answer:

  B)  T = 2πr/v

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the given equation for T, multiply it by T/v.

v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{T}\\\\v\dfrac{T}{v}=\dfrac{2\pi r}{T}\cdot\dfrac{T}{v}\\\\T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v} \qquad\text{simplify}

June has $1.95 in dimes and nickels. She has a total of 28 coins. how many of each type of coin does she have?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

11 dimes, 17 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

d + n = 28, put one variable by itself on a side, d = 28 - n

.10d + .05n = 1.95

Sub the first equation into the second

.10(28 - n) + .05n = 1.95

2.8 - .10n + .05n = 1.95

2.8 - .05n = 1.95

-.05n = -0.85

n = 17 nickels

d + 17 = 28

d = 11  11 dimes
