The chords intersect at point U. What is the value of y?

Mathematics

Answer:

6 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

For chords that intersect inside a circle, we have the intersecting chords theorem, which states that the product of both colinear segments are equal to the products of the intersecting colinear segments meaning that:

Segment 1*segment2 =segment3*segment4

So 12*4=8*x

We just have to clear x from the equation to get the value of X:

Segment 1*segment2 =segment3*segment4\\12*4=8*x\\x=\frac{12*4}{8}\\ x=6

So the segment Y measures 6 cm.

we know that

<u>The intersecting chords theorem</u> states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal

so

in this problem

RU*UT=QU*US

we have

RU=12\ cm\\UT=4\ cm\\QU=8\ cm\\US=y\ cm

substitute the values

12*4=8*y

48=8*y

y=6\ cm

therefore

<u>the answer is </u>

y=6\ cm

Consider the given density curve.
Pavel [41]

We want to find the median for the given density curve.

The value of the median is 1.

Let's see how to solve this.

First, for a regular set {x₁, ..., xₙ} we define the median as the middle value. The difference between a set and a density curve is that the density curve is continuous, so getting the exact middle value can be harder.

Here, we have a constant density curve that goes from -1 to 3.

Because it is constant, the median will just be equal to the mean, thus the median is the average between the two extreme values.

Remember that the average between two numbers a and b is given by:

(a + b)/2

So we get:

m = (3 + (-1))/2 = 1

So we can conclude that the value of the median is 1, so the correct option is the second one, counting from the top.
