Answer:

CD=7.5\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the value of AC

we know that

Applying the <u>Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem</u>

AB^{2}=AD*AC

we have

AB=5\ cm

AD=10\ cm

substitute the values and solve for AC

5^{2}=10*AC

AC=25/10=2.5\ cm

step 2

Find the value of CD

CD=AD-AC

substitute the values

CD=10-2.5=7.5\ cm

Is DEF a right triangle? True or false
umka2103 [35]
Short answer = false
Remark

If it is a right triangle, it will obey the Pythagorean Equation. a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Let's see if it does.

Equation
a^2 + b^2= c^2
c must be the longest line. (Hypotenuse)

Givens
a = 24
b = 17
c = 40

Sub and Solve
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
17^2 + 24^2 = c^2 [We'll see if this comes out to 40]

289 + 576 = c^2
865 = c^2 which is no where near what 40^2 equals. 40^2 = 1600

Short answer False

Square root of 865 = (865)^1/2 = 29.4

the distance around a track is 400m. if you take 14 laps around the track what is the total distance you walk? use mental math
Olegator [25]

to do it in mental math: you can ignore the zeroes in 400 for now.

4*14 = 4*10 + 4*4 = 40 + 16 = 56

now add the zeroes back on: 5600m
