Answer:

y=6

DE=7

HG=8

Step-by-step explanation:

-For chords intersecting each other within a circle, the product of their segments are always equal.

-We can therefore use this relationship to calculate the lengths of missing chords and segments as:

$DH\times HE=FH\times HG\\\\3\times 4=2y\\\\12=2y\\\\y=6$

Hence, the length of the segment HG is 6

The length of a chord is equivalent to the sum of its segments;

$DE=DH+HE\\\\=3+4\\\\=7\\\\\\FG=FH+HG\\\\=2+6\\\\=8$

Hitman42 [59]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume be represented by 'V'

Since it is given that Volume varies with height 'h' and square of the girth 'g' we can write

$V=khg^2$ where 'k' is a constant of proportionality

Now it is given that volume is 288 cubic meters for h= 40 meters and g =1.5 meters we can write

$288=k\times 40\times 1.5^2\\\\\therefore k=\frac{288}{40\times 1.5^{2}}=3.2$

Thus the volume of the timber as a relation is

$V=3.2\times hg^{2}$

Part b)

Volume of 50 trees with height 75 meters and girth 2 meters is

$V=50\times 3.2\times 75\times 2^{2}\\\\\therefore V=48000m^{3}$
