nexus9112 [7]

Answer: Option D :3.85 units.

Step-by-step explanation: Diameter is the longest chord of any circle . It is a straight line passing through the center of the circle and touches the circle at two points. Radius is a line drawn from the center of circle to the circumference. Radius is half of diameter.In the given figure the blue line is diameter .The diameter is the blue line which equals 7.7 units.Radius is half of diameter .Radius = 7.7÷2=3.85 units.

Option D is the right answer.

I DONT KNOW THESE! HELP!

Answer:

20. x = 5, y = -2

21. x = 11, y = 12

22. x = 22, y = 11

23. x = 11, y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

20. Opposite sides in the parallelogram are congruent, so

$2y+18=3x-1\\ \\6x-3=17-5y$

Solve this system of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}2y-3x=-19\\ \\6x+5y=20\end{array}\right.$

Multiply the first equation by 2 and add two equations:

$2(2y-3x)+6x+5y=2\cdot (-19)+20\\ \\4y-6x+6x+5y=-38+20\\ \\9y=-18\\ \\y=-2$

Substitute it into the first equation:

$2\cdot (-2)-3x=-19\\ \\-3x=-19+4\\ \\-3x=-15\\ \\x=5$

21. Opposite angles in the parallelogram are congruent, so

$11x+5=10y+6$

Consecutive angles are supplementary, so

$6x-y+11x+5=180^{\circ}$

Solve this system of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}11x-10y=1\\ \\17x-y=175\end{array}\right.$

From the second equation

$y=17x-175$

Substitute it into the first equation:

$11x-10(17x-175)=1\\ \\11x-170x+1750=1\\ \\-159x=-1749\\ \\x=11\\ \\y=17\cdot 11-175=187-175=12$

22. Opposite angles in the parallelogram are congruent, so

$2x-5=3y-12$

Consecutive angles are supplementary, so

$2x-5+7y+x=180^{\circ}$

Solve this system of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}2x-3y=-7\\ \\3x+7y=185\end{array}\right.$

From the first equation

$x=-3.5+1.5y$

Substitute it into the second equation:

$3(-3.5+1.5y)+7y=185\\ \\-10.5+4.5y+7y=185\\ \\-105+45y+70y=1,850\\ \\115y=1,850+105\\ \\115y=1,955\\ \\y=17\\ \\x=-3.5+1.5\cdot 17=22$

23. Opposite sides in the parallelogram are congruent, so

$2x+9=4y-9\\ \\3x-5=2y+8$

Solve this system of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}2x-4y=-18\\ \\3x-2y=13\end{array}\right.$

Multiply the second equation by 2 and subtract it from the first equation:

$2x-4y-2(3x-2y)=-18-2\cdot 13\\ \\2x-4y-6x+4y=-18-26\\ \\-4x=-44\\ \\x=11$

Substitute it into the first equation:

$2\cdot 11-4y=-18\\ \\-4y=-18-22\\ \\-4y=-40\\ \\y=10$

Margaret is going to make some triangular picture frames. She will use strips of wood that are 7 inches, 8 inches, and 6 inches

artcher [175]

In a triangle, the side opposite the largest angle is the longest one. So the answer is 8 inches.
