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.

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to y=2/3x-7 and passes through (12,2)?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is option A</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

To find the equation of the parallel line we must first find the slope of the original line

From the question the original line is

y = 2/3x - 7

Comparing with the general equation above

Slope = 2/3

Since the lines are parallel their slope are also the same

Slope of parallel line = 2/3

So the equation of the line using point

(12 , 2 ) and slope 2/3 is

y - 2 =  \frac{2}{3} (x - 12) \\ y - 2 =  \frac{2}{3} x - 8 \\ y =  \frac{2}{3} x - 8 + 2

We have the final answer as

y =  \frac{2}{3} x - 6 \\

Hope this helps you

Which symbol correctly compares the two angles? pie/3 30° 3 O A.&lt; O B. = O C. &gt;​
k0ka [10]

Answer:

>

Step-by-step explanation:

π / 3 is in radians.

Radian need to be converted into

degree ( ° ).

The value of in degree is 180°

π / 3 = 180 / 3 = 60°

60° > 30°

So,

( π / 3 ) > 30°

A volleyball of radius 13 inches fits exactly in a cylinder with the same radius. inside the container there is empty space not
asambeis [7]

Volume of Sphere is V=(4/3)*PI*r^3

The radius of the volleyball is 13 inches

<span>So V=(4/3) * 3.14 * 13^3 =  9198 cubic inches</span>

 

Volume of a cylinder is V=pi * r^2 *h

Since they say the ball fits perfectly

The radius is 13 and the height is 26 ( the diameter of the ball)

So V=3.14 * 13^2 * 26 = 13,797 cubic inches

 

13797 – 9198 = 4,599 cubic inches of empty space

If George put $600 in a savings account at a simple interest rate for each year. What was his interest rate, r, if after 3 years
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

  6%

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier on George's money is ...

  $708/$600 = 1.18

This value is ...

  1 + rt = 1.18 . . . . . for t = 3

  3r = 0.18 . . . . . . subtract 1; next divide by 3

  r = 0.06 = 6%

The simple interest rate on George's account is 6%.
