What is the length of chord XY

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sergeeva-Olga [200]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

|XY|=18cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the chord is a tangent to the smaller circle, it will meet the radius of the smaller circle at right angle.


Let d be the length of half of the chord. See diagram in attachment.


Then from Pythagoras Theorem,

d^2+12^2=15^2


\Rightarrow d^2+144=225


\Rightarrow d^2=225-144


\Rightarrow d^2=81

We take the positive square root of both sides to obtain,

d=\sqrt{81}=9


The length of the chord is

2d=2(9)=18cm

The correct answer is A

You can find the answer by substituting the x-values provided in the question and seeing if you get what the question says.

a satisfies all of the parameters.
b doesn’t satisfy g(-1), so it’s not b.
c doesn’t satisfy g(-1), so it’s not c.
d doesn’t satisfy g(-1), so it’s not d.

The correct answer is a.

Use the stem and leaf plot graph to answer the question.
kogti [31]
<h3>Answer:   13 days</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

Count the number of leaves marked in green.

  1. Row One: 2 leaves (1 and 8)
  2. Row Two: 3 leaves (3, 6, and 9)
  3. Row Three: 5 leaves (2, 3, 4, 6, 7)
  4. Row Four: 3 leaves (1, 6, and 8)

There are 2+3+5+3 = 13 leaves total. This represents tickets were sold on 13 days.

Each stem and leaf combines to form a different ticket count. For instance, the stem of 1 and leaf of 8 combine to get the value 18. So 18 tickets were sold on that particular day.
