Answer:  Length of AB is 16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Diameter of a circle is 20 cm and CE = 4 cm

Now as shown in figure AO, BO, CO are radii

\text { Radius } =\dfrac{\text {Diameter}}{2} = \dfrac{20}{2} = 10 cm

Therefore

AO=BO=CO= 10 cm

Now

OE = CO- CE  \Rightarrow OE= 10 -4 = 6 cm

Now in Δ OEB

∠OEB =90°

Therefore by Pythagoras theorem : In a right angle triangle the square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of square of other two sides.

So we have

BO^2=BE^2+EO^2\\\\\Rightarrow 10^2= BE^2 +6^2\\\\\Rightarrow BE^2= 100-36\\\\\Rightarrow BE^2 = 64 \\\\\Rightarrow BE= 8 cm

Now as we know perpendicular to the chord from the center of a circle bisect the chord.

Therefore

AB= 2\times BE = 2\times 8=16 cm

Hence , the  length of AB is 16 cm .

Vivian used exactly 25 cup of shampoo each day for 6 days. How much shampoo did Vivian use at the end of 6 days?
mario62 [17]

Answer: 150 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

370 second song is divided into three parts, the beginning, the middle, and the end. The beginning is one sixth as long as the e
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The main part of the song is the end.  The beginning length is based on the end and so is the middle length.  The beginning length is 1/6 as long as the end, so if the end is our main unknown, x, the beginning is 1/6x.  The middle is one-half as long as the end, so if the end is our main unknown, x, the middle is 1/2x.  The sum of the 3 parts is 370, so:

x+\frac{1}{6}x+\frac{1}{2}x=370

The GCF of those denominators is 6, so multiply through every term by 6 to get rid of the fractions:

(6)x+(6)\frac{1}{6}x+(6)\frac{1}{2}x=(6)370

Simplifying gives us

6x + x + 3x = 2220 and

10x = 2220 so

x = 222

That means that the end is 222 seconds, the bginning is 37 seconds, and the middle is 111 seconds.
