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]

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.

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°.
