8 0

Answer:

The length of CD is 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question in the attached figure

we know that

According to the Right Triangle Altitude Theorem,

$(BD)^2 = (AD)(CD)$

substitute the given values

$(4)^2 = (x-6)(x)$

$16=x^2-6x\\x^2-6x-16=0$

solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is x=8 or x=-6

see the attached figure N 2

Discard the negative length.

therefore

The length of CD is 8 units

If a circle has radius 10 cm, find the length of the arc subtended by a central angle of 36°.

snow_lady [41]

Angle = 36 degrees = $\frac{\pi}{180} \times 36$ = $\pi / 5$

now, radius = 10 cm

so arc = radius x angle = 10 x pi/5 = 2pi = 6.28 cm

Margo lists the sizes, inches, of set of screws: 9/64, 5/32, 1/16, 1/8. She reasons that because the denominators are in order f

Finger [1]

Answer:

I think she is incorrect she need to change all the fractions to the same denominators

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to change all the fractions to 64

9/64 stays the same

5/32 multiply 2 then 10/64

1/16 multiply by 4 then 4/64

1/8 multiply by 8 then 8/64

Now we can order then

5/32 > 9/64 > 1/8 > 1/16 This is the right order

She was wrong.
