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

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of playing x games at Adams = 7.50 + 0.45x

cost of playing x games at Jims = 1.25x

1.25x = 7.50 + 0.45x

1.25-0.45x = 7.50

0.80x =  7.50

x = 7.50/0.80 = 9.375 , but x must be an integer.

The cost is never the same. When x ≤ 9, Adams costs more. When x ≥ 10, Jims costs more.

Find the greatest and least number from 5,0,8,9 and 7​
Dvinal [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

  • Greatest number: 98750
  • Least number: 5789

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>To find the greatest number with the following values, we must arrange the numbers in descending form. </em>

<em>=> We can clearly tell that the numbers in descending form is 9 > 8 > 7 > 5 > 0</em>

<u>Hence, the greatest number with the following numbers (5,0,8,9, and 7) will be 98750.</u>

<h3>__________________________________________________</h3>

<em>To find the least number with the following values, we must arrange the numbers in ascending form.</em>

<em>=> We can clearly tell that the numbers in ascending form is 0 < 5 < 7 < 8 < 9</em>

<u>Hence, the least number with the following numbers (5,0,8,9, and 7) will be 5789</u>
