Answer:
24 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The altitude from the centre to the chord is 5 cm and bisects the chord.
The radius of the circle is 26 cm ÷ 2 = 13 cm
There is a right triangle formed with legs 5 and x ( x is half the chord )
The hypotenuse is the radius, then using Pythagoras' identity
x² + 5² = 13²
x² + 25 = 169 ( subtract 25 from both sides )
x² = 144 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = = 12
Then
length of chord = 2x = 2 × 12 = 24 cm
Answer:
The third choice is the one you want
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are to write the equation of a line perpendicular to WX, we first must determine what the slope of the WX is, because the line perpendicular to WX has a slope that is the flip of the slope of WX with the opposite sign. Solving for y takes care of finding the slope of WX:
2x + y = -5 so
y = -2x - 5
The slope is -2. That means that the reciprocal slope is 1/2. Using that slope along with the coordinates x = -1 and y = -2, we first write the line using point-slope form and then solve it for y. Start by filling in the m, the x value and the y value:
Getting rid of the double negatives gives us:
Distributing then gives us:
And finally solving for y (I am going to express the 2 on the left as 4/2 when I move it by subtraction in order to add those fractions):
And the final equation in slope-intercept form is:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find two things-- the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current. Each of these things will be represented by a different variable:
B = speed of the boat in still water
C = speed of the current
Since we have two variables, we will need to find a system of two equations to solve.
How do we find the two equations we need?
Rate problems are based on the relationship Distance = (Rate)(Time).
Fill in the chart with your data (chart attached)
The resulting speed of the boat (traveling upstream) is B-C miles per hour. On the other hand, if the boat is traveling downstream, the current will be pushing the boat faster, and the boat's speed will increase by C miles per hour. The resulting speed of the boat (traveling downstream) is B+C miles per hour. Put this info in the second column in the chart. Now plug it into a formula! <u>Distance=(Rate)(Time) </u>Now solve using the systems of equations!
