Given: XY - tangent to circles k1(P) and k2(O) OX=16, PY=6 and OP=26 Find: XY

Answer:

the answer is <em>XY = 24 units</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

XY is tangent to the circles with center P and O respectively.

OX=16 units

PY=6 units

OP=26 units

To find:

Side XY = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

As per given statement, the diagram of two circles and their tangent is shown in the diagram.

We need to do one construction here,

Draw a line parallel to tangent XY from P towards OX such that it meets OX at A .

Now, let us consider triangle \triangle OAP. It is a right angled triangle.

With sides Hypotenuse, OP = 26 units  

Perpendicular, OA = 16 -6  = 10 units

Base AP is equal to XY.

If we find the value of Base AP, the value of XY is calculated automatically.

Let us use pythagorean theorem in \triangle OAP:

According to pythagorean theorem:

\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}\\\Rightarrow OP^{2} = AP^{2} + OA^{2}  \\\Rightarrow 26^2=XY^2+10^2\\\Rightarrow XY^2 = 676- 100\\\Rightarrow XY = \sqrt{576}\\\Rightarrow XY = 24\ units

Hence, the answer is <em>XY = 24 units</em>.

On a test, wrong answers are worth -5.25 points and right answers are worth 3.5 points. So far, Marshall has one right answer an
Over [174]

Answer:

Marshall's current score is - 1.75 points

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Wrong answers are worth -5.25 points and right answers are worth 3.5 points.

Currently, Marshall has one right answer and one wrong answer.

To determine Marshall's current score, we will multiply the number of right answers has by 3.5 points and multiply the number of wrong answers by -3.5 points and then add the results.

Number of right answers = 1

Number of wrong answers = 1

For the right answer, he has

1 × 3.5 points = 3.5 points

For the wrong answer, he has

1 × - 5.25 points = -5.25 points

Hence, Marshall's current score is

3.5 points + ( -5.25 points) = 3.5 points - 5.25 points

= - 1.75 points.

Hence, Marshall's current score is - 1.75 points.
