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

The difference of two integers is thirty. the larger integer is two more than five times the smaller integer. Find the integers
Mnenie [13.5K]
X=2+5y
x-y=30

basically, all you're doing here is solving a system of equations. use the second equation to find out what x or y means. i'm going to solve it for x.

this is the new equation : x=30+y

now i plug this equation into the first one.

30+y=2+5y

30=2+5y-y
30=2+4y
28=4y
y=7

now that you know what y is, take that second equation we did in the beginning and plug in y.

x-7=30

solve for x

x=37



the two integers are 37 and 7.

Please help explain how to solve problem 16?
Anarel [89]
Here is the problem.....√(15x + 10) = 2x+3

to remove the square root, we do the opposite which is to square everything.

(√(15x + 10))² = (2x + 3)²      (the square negates the square root)
15x + 10 = (2x +3)(2x + 3)    (use the distributive property to continue)
15x + 10 = 4x² + 6x + 6x + 9  (combine like terms)
15x + 10 = 4x² + 12x + 9      (subtract 15x and 10 from each side)
-15x - 10          -15x - 10
0 = 4x² - 3x - 1                      (factor completely)
(x - 1) (4x + 1)                    (set each to equal 0)

x - 1 = 0                4x + 1 = 0
x = 1                      4x = -1
                               x = -1/4

place both into the equation to check for reasonableness...we see the negative number is not reasonable, but the x value of 1 is a solution.

answer is 1
