In ®A shown below, radius AB is perpendicular to chord XY at point C. If XY=24 and AC=5 cm, what is the radius of the circle?
2 answers:
ANSWER
B. 13cm
EXPLANATION
The radius of the circle becomes the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed.
We can use the Pythagoras Theorem to obtain,
AC²+CY²=r²
This implies that,
r²=5²+12²
r²=25+144
r²=169
Take positive square root to get;
r=√169
r=13
AB and AC are two equal chord of a circle, therefore the centre of the circle lies on the bisector of ∠BAC.
OA is the bisector of ∠BAC.
Again, the internal bisector of an angle divides the opposite sides in the ratio of the sides containing the angle.
P divides BC in the ratio 6:6=1:1.
P is mid-point of BC.
OP ⊥ BC.
In △ ABP, by pythagoras theorem,
AB2=AP2+BP2
BP2=36−AP2 ....(1)
In △ OBP, we have
OB2=OP2+BP2
52=(5−AP)2+BP2
BP2=25−(5−AP)2 .....(2)
From 1 & 2, we get,
36−AP2=25−(5−AP)2
36=10AP
AP=3.6cm
Substitute in equation 1,
BP2=36−(3.6)2=23.04
BP=4.8cm
BC=2×4.8=9.6cm

Answer: 4 hours, $160
Step-by-step explanation:
100+15x= 40x
100= 25x
4=x
4 Hours
4*40 = 160
or 100 + 15*4= 160

I'm a bit confused and there is not a lot of information given to this.
From what I know, the dimensions of the larger rectangle can be found from length x width = 250 square centimetres.
Any multiplication problem that equals 250 could work out for length x width.
