I suck at figuring out the radius of a circle :c Can someone help please :(

First question:

The line segment that is 40 ft long is a tangent to the circle, meaning it creates a right angle with the radius that intersects it.

Let r be the radius of the circle.

We have a right triangle where the legs are r and 40, and the hypotenuse is (20+r)

I'm hoping you remember the Pythagorean Theorem because this is going to be an important equation for this problem (and the next).

Let's use the dimensions of the right triangle and create a Pythagorean Theorem truth statement:

r^2+40^2=(20+r)^2

Simplify the right side so it's easier to solve

r^2+1600=400+40r+r^2

Subtract both sides by r²

1600=400+40r

Subtract both sides by 400

1200=40r

Divide both sides by 40

r=30

The value of r is 30, meaning the radius is 30 feet.

Second question:

Please look at the attached image, it would be too hard to try and describe this in words.

We have a right triangle where the legs have a length of 3.6 and half of the length of KL, which is 4.

The hypotenuse is the radius, x.

Use Pythagorean Theorem's to solve for x

3.6^2+4^2=x^2

Simplify

x^2=28.96

Use a calculator to take the square root of 28.96

x=5.3814...

The image is not complete so I can't see how I have to round it, so here are a few different ways this could be rounded:

  • To the nearest tenths: x=5.4
  • To the nearest hundredths: x=5.38
  • To the nearest thousandths: x=5.381

Answerer's Note:

I'm so sorry this took so long to answer. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

2x^2+4x+2
Carry the 2 over to the 3 behind the 4 and multiply so 2times2 is 4. So i new equation is.
X^2+4x+4
Now you have to find the factors of 4 which is 1,4 and 2,2
So now you have to see which one adds up to 4 so 1+4 is 5 so cross that out and 2+2=4.
So the two number is 2 and 2 now you have to bring down the x^2 and the signs.
(X+2) (X+2) and thats your answer

Please help me with this
kirill [66]

Answer:

15/2 or 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6 (x + 1/2 + 4)

distribute 5/6 to each number

5/6x + 5/12 + 10/3

change the fraction 10/3 so that it will have the same denominator as 5/12

\frac{10}{3} *4 = 40/12

5/6x + 5/12 + 40/12\\5/6x + 45/12

divide both sides by 5/6

x = 9/2

5/6*9/2+5/12+10/3 = \frac{15}{2}
