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 .

Find the area of the following shape. Please show work.
Sav [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by the formula:

● A = (b×h)/2

b is the base and h is the heigth.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Draw the heigth. This gives you two small right triangles.

Let's focus on the right one containing 45°.

● sin 45° = h/8

● h = sin 45° × 8 = 4√(2)

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Replace h by its value in the area formula. The base is 17

● A = (17× 4√(2))/ 2

● A = 34√(2)

● A = 48.08

Round to the nearest unit

● A = 48
