Answer:

9.12 + 9.12 = 18.24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter = 23 inches (given)

Radius = 11.5 inches

2 Chords of length = 14 inches ( You didn't specify if the 14 inches is for both chords or for a single cord. I'll assume it's for two cords 14 and 14inches apart.

To clearly solve this, we'll make some mild assumptions.

Let the perpendicular distance of the chords from the center of the circle to represented as " x and y"

Therefore:

x^2 + 7^2 = 11.5 ^ 2

x^2 + 49 = 132.25

x^2 = 132.25 - 49

x^2 = 83.25

x = √ 83.25

x = 9.12 inches

Since the cords have thesame length (Assumed from the way the question was structured, the distance would still be thesame)

y^2 + 7^2 = 11.5 ^ 2

y^2 + 49 = 132.25

y^2 = 132.25 - 49

y^2 = 83.25

y = √ 83.25

y = 9.12 inches

Therefore, the distance will be :

9.12 + 9.12 = 18.24 inches

Have fun!

Given: mAngleEDF = 120°; mAngleADB = (3x)°; mAngleBDC = (2x)° Prove: x = 24 3 lines are shown. A line with points E, D, C inters
N76 [4]

Answer:

" Vertical angles are congruent " ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Look to the attached figure </em>

- There are three lines intersected at point D

- We need to find the missing in step 3

∵ Line FA intersects line EC at point D

- The angles formed when two lines cross each other are called

 vertical angles

- Vertical angles are congruent (vertical angles theorem)

∴ ∠ADC and ∠FDE are vertical angles

∵ Vertical angles are congruent

∴ ∠EDF ≅ ∠ADC

∴ m∠EDF ≅ m∠ADC

∵ m∠EDF = 120° ⇒ given

∵ m∠ADC = m∠ADB + m∠BDC

∴ m∠ADB + m∠BDC = 120°

∵ m∠ADB = (3x)° ⇒ given

∵ m∠BDC = (2x)° ⇒ given

∴ 3x + 2x = 120 ⇒ add like terms

∴ 5x = 120 ⇒ divide both sides by 5

∴ x = 24

Column (1)                                                     Column (2)

m∠EDF = 120°                                               given

m∠ADB = 3 x                                                 given

m∠BDC = 2 x                                                 given

∠EDF and ∠ADC are vertical angles           defin. of vert. ∠s

∠EDF is congruent to ∠ADC                        vertical angles are      

                                                                        congruent  

m∠ADC = m∠ADB + m∠BDC                        angle add. post.

m∠EDF = m∠ADC                                          defin. of cong.

m∠EDF = m∠ADB + m∠BDC                         substitution

120° = 3 x + 2 x                                               substitution

120 = 5 x                                                         addition

x = 24                                                              division  

∴ The missing reason is " vertical angles are congruent "

- From the explanation above ∠ADC and ∠FDE are vertical

 angles then they are congruent according to vertical angle

svp [43]

Answer:

-2.8h-26+5d

Step-by-step explanation:

So just combine like terms

For the h, you’d get -2.8

For the d, you’d get 5

For the normal integer, -26

How do I solve this problem. I have to find the missing side lengths and lease my sender as radicals in simplest form
nlexa [21]

Answer:

x = y = 2√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

To get the unknown side x and y, we need to use the SOH CAH TOA identity

Opposite side = x

Adjacent = y

Hypotenuse = 4

Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse

sin 45 = x/4

x = 4 sin 45

x = 4 * 1/√2

x = 4 * 1/√2 * √2/√2

x = 4 * √2/√4

x = 4 * √2/2

x = 2√2

Similarly;

cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos 45 = y/4

y = 4cos45

y = 4 * 1/√2

y = 4 * 1/√2 * √2/√2

y = 4 * √2/√4

y = 4 * √2/2

y = 2√2
