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!

Which fraction is in reduced form?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

  C  5/13

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction is written in reduced form if there are no common factors in the numerator and denominator. Since you know your multiplication tables, you can easily identify the common factors:

  A 20 = 5·4, so 4 is a common factor 4/(4·5) = 1/5

  B 6 = 2·3, 9 = 3·3, so 3 is a common factor (2·3)/(3·3) = 2/3

  C 13 is not a multiple of the prime number 5, so there are no common factors. 5/13 is a reduced fraction

  D 14 = 2·7, 21 = 3·7, so 7 is a common factor (2·7)/(3·7) = 2/3

A weather forecast states that there is a 20% probability of rain in the next three days. Describe a simulation you could perfor
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

my hands hurt, pls give brainilist and hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

Before leaving for work, Victor checks the weather report in order to decide whether to carry an umbrella. The forecast is “rain" with probability 20% and “no rain" with probability 80%. If the forecast is “rain", the probability of actually having rain on that day is 80%. On the other hand, if the forecast is “no rain", the probability of actually raining is 10%.

1. One day, Victor missed the forecast and it rained. What is the probability that the forecast was “rain"?

2. Victor misses the morning forecast with probability 0.2 on any day in the year. If he misses the forecast, Victor will flip a fair coin to decide whether to carry an umbrella. (We assume that the result of the coin flip is independent from the forecast and the weather.) On any day he sees the forecast, if it says “rain" he will always carry an umbrella, and if it says “no rain" he will not carry an umbrella. Let U be the event that “Victor is carrying an umbrella", and let N be the event that the forecast is “no rain". Are events U and N independent?

3. Victor is carrying an umbrella and it is not raining. What is the probability that he saw the forecast?

Troyanec [42]
The domain of the graph is everything x is allowed to equal. Parentheses are used to show that x can be everything up to, but not including that number. Brackets are used to show x can be anything up to, and including, that number. The comma between the two numbers indicates that x can be anything between those two numbers.

Here, the time goes on the x axis and the distance will go on the y axis.
Time: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
<span>Distance: 0.0 5.5 12.0 20.0 28.5 36.0 44.0 56.5 64.0 75.0
</span>
Since we are dealing with the domain, we really only need to focus on the time.
Time: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

From this, we see that the values go from 0 to 10. This means that x can be anything from 0 to 10. Because there are y values that correlate with the numbers 0 and 10, we know that the domain will include 0 and 10. This indicates we must use brackets. 

Knowing all of this information, we can now write our domain as:
