Answer:

Measure of line segment ap = 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two line segments (tangents) from a common point (p).

Considering p as a common point.

Measure of length bp = 12 cm

We have to find the measure of length ap.

According to the theorem.

Two-Tangent Theorem:

When two segments are drawn tangent to a circle from the same point outside the circle, the segments are equal in length.

So,

We can say that both the line segments from point p are equal.

Measure of ap = 12 cm

A diagram is also attached with this.

Measure of segment ap = 12 cm

Convert the polar coordinates (-3, -60°) to Cartesian coordinates.
notsponge [240]

Answer:

(1.5,-2.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polar coordinates (-3,60°).

Let our Cartesian coordinates be (x,y)

#We know that when converting the rectangular coordinates (x,y) to polar (r,θ), then:

r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\\therefore r^2=x^2+y^2\\\\\theta=tan^{-1}(y/x)\\\therefore tan \theta=y/x

#Using the illustration above, we can express our polar coordinates as:

-3=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\-60\textdegree=tan^{-1}(y/x}

#Solve simultaneously to solve for x and y:

(-3)^2=x^2+y^2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ i\\\\tan(-0\texdegree)=y/x\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...ii\\\\y=x\ tan(-60\textdegree)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...iii\\\\\#substitute\  y \ in\  i\\\\(-3)^2=x^2+(x \ tan (-60\textdegree))^2\\\\9=x^2+3x^2\\\\x=\sqrt{9/4}=1.5\\\\y=1.5\ tan(-60\textdegree)=-2.5981\approx-2.6

Hence, the Cartesian coordinates are (1.5,-2.6)

Jose left the White House and drove toward the recycling plant at an average speed of 40 km/h. Rob left some time later driving
Aleks04 [339]
Let x represent Jose's drived distance and y represent Rob's.
So what you need to do is to solve the equation:
40x=48*5
40x=240
x=240/40=6

So Jose drove for 6 hours before Rob caught him.
