Answer:

d.$\overline{BC}$

Step-by-step explanation :

We are given that a circle of center O.

We have to find the segment that is secant.

Secant : If a line which intersect the circle at two points.Then the line segment  is called  secant.

a.$\overline{OA}$

It is false because segment OA intersect the circle at one point A only.

b.$\overline{CD}$

It is false because segment CD intersect the circle at point D only.

c.$\overline{BC}$

It is true because it intersect the circle at two points .

d.$\overline{AB}$

It is false because it intersect the circle at one point A only.

Answer:c.$\overline{BC}$

A vector is in standard position, with its terminal point in the second quadrant and an x-coordinate of –5. The vector has a mag
joja [24]

a.

The y-coordinate of the vector with its terminal point in the second quadrant is 6.

The magnitude of the vector, r = √(x² + y²) where x = x-coorcinate of vector = -5 and y = y-coordinate of vector.

Since r = √61 and r = √(x² + y²)

Making y subject of the formula, we have

y = √(r² - x²)  

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

y = √((√61)² - (-5)²)  

y = √(61 - 25)  

y = ±√36

y = ±6

Since r is in the second quadrant, its y-coordinate is positive.

So, y = 6

So, the y-coordinate of the vector with its terminal point in the second quadrant is 6.

b.

The direction angle of the vector with its terminal point in the second quadrant is 130°

The direction angle of the vector is gotten from tanФ = y/x

Subsstituting x and y into the equation, we have

tanФ = y/x

tanФ = 6/-5

tanФ = -1.2

tan(180° - Ф) = 1.2

Taking inverse tan of both sides, we have

180° - Ф = tan⁻¹(1.2)

180° - Ф = 50.2°

Ф = 180° - 50.2°

Ф = 129.8°

Ф ≅ 130° to the neares whole number

The direction angle of the vector with its terminal point in the second quadrant is 130°.

What are the angles of a triangle
Talja [164]
The angles inside a triangle are called interior angles. The diagram below shows the interior and exterior angles of a triangle. The three interior angles in a triangle will always add up to 180°. At each corner the exterior and interior angles are on a straight line, so at each corner these two angles add up to 180°.
