JK is tangent to a circle with centre H as shown below. What is HK ? 8 mi 15 mi

Mathematics
1 answer:
sashaice [31]2 years ago

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.

A glider flies 13 miles north from the airport and then 24 miles diagonally southeast. Approximately how far west does the glide
NISA [10]

Answer:

20.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be described by the three sides of a right angled triangle. Let the distance of the glider to the airport be represented by x, applying the Pythagoras theorem:

/hyp/^{2} = /adj1/^{2} + /adj2/^{2}

/24/^{2} = /x/^{2} + /13/^{2}

576 = x^{2} + 169

x^{2} = 576 - 169

   = 407

x = \sqrt{407}

  = 20.1742

x = 20.2 miles

The glider has to fly 20.2 miles to return to the airport.

Find the savings plan balance after 2 years with an APR of 4% and monthly payments of $250. The balance is $ (Do not round until
alexdok [17]

Answer:

$6,506.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that increasing an amount C in x% is equivalent to multiply it by (1+x/100)

As we have 4% APR, the monthly interest would be (4/12)% = 0.04/12

<u>Month 0</u> (first payment)

$250

Month 1

250 + 250 \frac{0.04}{12}= 250(\frac{12.04}{12})

<u>Month 2</u>

250(1+\frac{12.04}{12}+(\frac{12.04}{12})^2)

<u>Month 3</u>

250(1+\frac{12.04}{12}+(\frac{12.04}{12})^2+(\frac{12.04}{12})^3)

<u>Month 24 (2 years)</u>

250(1+\frac{12.04}{12}+(\frac{12.04}{12})^2+(\frac{12.04}{12})^3+...+(\frac{12.04}{12})^{24})

The sum  

1+\frac{12.04}{12}+(\frac{12.04}{12})^2+(\frac{12.04}{12})^3+...+(\frac{12.04}{12})^{24}

is the sum of the first 24 terms of a geometric sequence with common ratio \frac{12.04}{12} which is

\frac{1-(12.04/12)^{25}}{1-(12.04/12)}=26.02603071

so, after 2 years the saving balance is

250*26.02603071 = 6,506.50767= $6,506.51 rounded to the nearest cent.

A family decides to put tiles in the entryway of their home. The entryway has an area of 7 square meters. If each tile is 5 cent
lyudmila [28]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  2800 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Each tile has an area of (0.05 m)² = 0.0025 m². Then the number of tiles required to cover 7 square meters is ...

  (7 m²)/(0.0025 m²/tile) = 2800 tiles

It will take 2800 tiles to cover the entryway.
