Part 1:

Given that the length of the chord is 18 cm and the chord is midway the radius of the circle. 

Thus, half the angle formed by the chord at the centre of the circle is given by:

\cos\theta=\frac{\left( \frac{1}{2} r\right)}{r}= \frac{1}{2}  \\  \\ \Rightarrow\theta=\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)=60^o

Now, 

\sin60^o= \frac{9}{r}  \\  \\ \Rightarrow r= \frac{9}{\sin60^o} =10.392

Therefore, the radius of the circle is 10.4 cm to 1 d.p.


Part 2I:

Given that the radius of the circle is 10 cm and the length of chord AB is 8 cm. Thus, half the length of the chord is 4cm. Let the distance of the mid-point O to /AB/ be x and half the angle formed by the chord at the centre of the circle be θ, then

\sin\theta= \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5} \\ \\ \theta=\sin^{-1}\left( \frac{2}{5} \right)=23.6^o

Now, 

\cos23.6^o= \frac{x}{10} \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=10\cos23.6^o=9.165\approx9.2cm


Part 2II:

Given that the radius of the circle is 10cm and the angle distended is 80 degrees. Let half the length of chord CD be y, then:

\sin40^o= \frac{y}{10}  \\  \\  \\ \Rightarrow y=10\sin40^o=6.428

Thus, the length of chord CD = 2(6.428) = 12.856 which is approximately 12.9 cm.

Find the area of the rhombus. 
Inessa [10]

A=24


Find the area by multiplying both diagonals and dividing them by 2. Like so: And you might be wondering how to do that. By using the pythagorean theorem and some simple addition, you could get the answer. One diagonal is 8 and the other is 6....so, 8x6=48....48/2=24


Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Gwar [14]

draw a perpendicular line from the directrix passing through the focus, this will be the line of symmetry. The vertex(h, k) will be located on the line half way between the focus and directrix. The distance from the focus to the vertex is called the focal length, call it a. The then equation is (x - h)^2 = 4a(y - k) the equation can be manipulated to y = 1/4a(x - h)^2 + k hope it helps
