Answer:

<h2>Side YZ is 8 units long.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We can deduct form the graph that segment WO is a radius of the circle and XY is its diameters.

By given, we know that XY = 10, which means WO=\frac{XY}{2}=\frac{10}{2}=5, by radius definition.

An important characteristic of tangents about circles is that the tangent is always is perpendicular to the radius, that means \angle OWZ = 90\°\\ and \triangle OWZ is a right triangle, that means we can use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the side YZ.

OZ^{2} =WZ^{2}+OW^{2}

Where OZ is the hypothenuse and WZ , OW are legs of the triangle.

Replacing all given values, we have

OZ^{2}=12^{2}+5^{2}\\OZ=\sqrt{144+25}=\sqrt{169}\\  OZ=13

However, by sum of segments, we have

OZ=OY+YZ, where OY=OW=5 and OZ=13

13=5+YZ\\YZ=13-5\\YZ=8

Therefore, side YZ is 8 units long.

Please help me with this , it would mean alot​

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

21-26. a = v - u / t

=> a = 47 - 19 / 5

=> a = 28 / 5

=> a = 5.6 m/s²

27-32. avg. speed = distance / time

=> 40 m / 10 s

=> 4 m/s

33-38. velocity = distance / time

=> v = 150 / 40

=> v = 15 / 4

=> v = 3.75 m/s

In parallelogram DEFG, DH = x + 3, HF = 3y, GH = 4x – 5, and HE = 2y + 3. Find the values of x and y.
marissa [1.9K]

Here, DH = HF 

x+3 = 3y

x = 3y-3   ----(I)

GH = HE

4x-5 = 2y+3

4x = 2y+8

Substitute value of x,

4(3y-3) = 2y+8

12y-12 = 2y+8

12y-2y = 12+8

10y = 20

y = 2

Now, substitute it in equation 1,

x = 3(2)-3

x = 6-3 = 3

So, your final answer is      x=3  & y=2

Please help!! ASAP
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The answer is 117.3 in^{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the volume of the cone, use the cone volume formula, which is   V = \frac{1}{3} \pi  r^{2} h.

Next, plug in the information given from the problem, and the formula will look like V = \frac{1}{3} (\pi) (4 in^{2}) (7 in).

Then, solve the equation, and the answer will be 117.3 in^{3}.
