Answer:

B 2 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles ADB and CDB are similar. Therefore similar parts can form a proportion.

AD/DB = DB/DC

AD = ?

DB = 4

DC = 6

x/4 = 4/6    Cross multiply

6x = 16

6x/6 = 16/6

x = 2 4/6 or x = 2 2/3

It's B

ANSWER

AD =2 \frac{2}{3}

EXPLANATION

According the Altitude Theorem, the height of the triangle is equal to the geometric mean of the two segment it creates on the hypotenuse.

This implies that:

{4}^{2} =6 AD

16 = 6 AD

Divide both sides by 6.

AD =  \frac{16}{6}

Simplify

AD = \frac{8}{3}

Change to mixed numbers

AD =2 \frac{2}{3}

If the length of the minute hand of the clock in London commonly known as “Big Ben” is 11.25’ from the center of the clock to th
rodikova [14]
First, we should figure out the area of the entire face of the clock because we need that information to solve the problem. The formula for the area of a circle is A=pi*r^2. Since we know that r (radius) is equal to 11.25 feet, we can plug this in for r and solve for A: A=pi*11.25^2 which equals A=397.61 ft^2 rounded to the nearest hundredth. 

Now, to find the area the hand sweeps over in 5 minutes, we should determine how much of the clock the hand sweeps over in 5 minutes. Think about it like this: since 5 minutes goes into 60 minutes 12 times (60/5=12), then 5 minutes is one twelfth of the clock's face. Therefore, we are going to divide the total area by 12 (397.61/12) to get 33.13 ft^2, so the answer is C.

I hope this helps.
