Answer:

CU = 117

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have similar triangles, we can use proportions.  Put the small triangle sides over the large triangle side.

WC             WD

----------- = -------------

WU             WV

26               20

----------- = -------------

36x-1             110

Using cross products

26*110 = 20* (36x-1)

Distribute

2860 = 720x - 20

Add 20 to each side

2860+20 = 720x-20+20

2880 = 720x

Divide by 720

2880/720 = 720x/720

4=x

We need to find CU

CU = WU - WC

Substituting in what we know

CU = 36x-1 -26

Since we know x=4

      = 36*4 -1 -26

      144 - 27

      = 117

Determine the radius of a circle if a 24-inch chord is 9 inches from the center.
bixtya [17]
Hi! :)

The radius of a circle is the length from the perimeter of the circle to the center of the circle. 

If  24 inches is still 9 inches from the center, you just have to add 24 and 9 to get the radius. 

24+9= 33

Your final answer should be that the radius is 33 inches.

Hope this helps!
