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

Anyone know how to do this?

Answer:

60.22in^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area of the rectangle. 14.1x7=98.7.

Then, we need to find the area of the circle and subtract it from the area of the rectangle.

The area of the circle is pi*r^2. so, pi*3.5^2 is about 38.48. (The radius is half of the diameter, so the radius would be 3.5).

Since there are two halves of the circle, we can just subtract 38.48 from 98.7 so get the area of the shaded region. So, the area of the yellow area is 60.22in^2.

The midsegment theorem says that the midsegment is half the third side and parallel as well. 20*2 is 40 so x = 35

How do I do this?? Help!
Shkiper50 [21]

Hi there!

In order to use the elimination method, you have to create one variable that has the same coefficient. This is to be able to eliminate one variable and have a one variable equation (which you can then solve).

In your case, we'll have the "x" have the same coefficient by multiplying the top equation by 4 and the bottom equation by 2 :

4( -2x + 3y = -4) → -8x + 12y = -16

2( 4x - 2y = 16) → 8x - 4y = 32


Now that both of your equation have a variable with the same coefficient, you need to choose rather you need to add or subtract the equations in order to get rid of the variable (in this case we want to get rid of the "x").

In your case, you want to add both equation together which will give you :

8y = 16


Now that you only have one variable, all you need to do now is solve the equation for "y" :

8y = 16

Divide each side of the equation by 8

y = 2 → Your answer


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s).
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

If b is 3, x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(3x-5)=16

use distributive property

-6x+10=16

take 10 away from both sides

-6x=6

divide both sides by -6

x=-1
