Answer:

  diameter = m - c

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔABC, let ∠C be the right angle. The length of the tangents from point C to the inscribed circle are "r", the radius. Then the lengths of tangents from point A are (b-r), and those from point B have length (a-r).

The sum of the lengths of the tangents from points A and B on side "c" is ...

  (b-r) +(a-r) = c

  (a+b) -2r = c

Now, the problem statement defines the sum of side lengths as ...

  a+b = m

and, of course, the diameter (d) is 2r, so we can rewrite the above equation as ...

  m -d = c

  m - c = d . . . . add d-c

The diameter of the inscribed circle is the difference between the sum of leg lengths and the hypotenuse.

I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST A bicycle manufacturing company makes a particular type of bike. Each child bike requires 4 hours to buil
Alona [7]

Using a system of equations, it is found that since 20 child bikes and 6 adult bikes would require more testing than the allocated time, it is not possible to build this amount.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

  • Variable c: number of child bikes.
  • Variable a: number of adult bikes.

Each child bike requires 4 hours to build, as do each adult bike. The company has 100 hours of testing, hence:

4c + 4a = 100.

c + a = 25.

With 20 child bikes and 6 adult bikes in a week, we have that c = 20, a = 26, hence:

c + a = 26

20 child bikes and 6 adult bikes would require more testing than the allocated time, it is not possible to build this amount.
