Answer:

When simplified, the square root of 23 is a non-terminating and non-repeating decimal. This, and the fact that it can't be written as a fraction is why it is an irrational number.

Answer:

(a)x=128 degrees

(b) $\angle APD\neq 116^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\angle ABD+\angle CBD =180^\circ$ (Linear Postulate)\\\angle ABD+116^\circ =180^\circ\\\angle ABD=180^\circ-116^\circ\\\angle ABD=64^\circ$

(a) Now:

$\angle AOD=2 \times \angle ABD$ (Angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference)\\x=2 \times 64^\circ\\x=128^\circ$

(b)

$\angle APD=2 \times \angle ABD$ (Inscribed Angle Theorem)\\\angle APD=2 \times 64^\circ\\ \angle APD=128^\circ$

$\angle APD\neq 116^\circ$

Find the length of MP. round to the nearest hundredth.

lozanna [386]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use sine:

$sine=\dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

We have:

$opposite=MP\\hypotenuse=8.7\ cm\\\alpha=20^o\\\\\sin20^o\approx0.342$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{MP}{8.7}=0.342$

$\dfrac{MP}{8.7}=\dfrac{342}{1,000}$ <em>cross multiply</em>

$1,000MP=2975.4$ <em>divide both sides by 1,000</em>

$MP=2.9754\to MP\approx2.98$
