ANSWER

The length of a Diameter is 3.714

EXPLANATION

The circumscribed triangle is shown in the attachment.

We use the cosine ratio to find the altitude of the isosceles triangle.

\cos(60 \degree)  =  \frac{altitude}{hypotenuse}

\cos(60 \degree)  =  \frac{altitude}{8}

Altitude =8cos(60°)

Altitude=4cm

Let the upper half of the altitude be y cm.

Then the radius of the circle is (y-4)cm

The upper radius meets the tangent at right angles.

From the smaller right triangle,

\sin(60 \degree)  =  \frac{4 - y}{y}

y\sin(60 \degree)  = 4 - y

y\sin(60 \degree)   + y= 4

(\sin(60 \degree)   + 1)y= 4

y=  \frac{4}{\sin(60 \degree)   + 1}

y = 16 - 8 \sqrt{3}

y=1.857

The diameter is 2y

d = 32 - 16 \sqrt{3}

=2(1.875)

Answer:

Diameter of the circle is 16 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The measure of a vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is 120° and the length of a leg is 8 cm.

To find : The length of a diameter of the circle circumscribed about this triangle?

Solution :

We construct a circle in which an ABC isosceles triangle is formed.

Refer the attached figure below.

The measure of a vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is 120° .

The length of a leg is 8 cm, AC=8 cm

Vertex angle is divided by the line touching the center of the circle.

So, \angle A=60^\circ and line AD=radius of the circle

Applying property of isosceles triangle,

Now, ∠DAC=∠ACD=∠CDA=60°

AC=DC=8 cm

The radius of the circle is 8 cm.

The diameter of the circle is twice the radius.

Therefore, The diameter of the circle is d=2(8)=16 cm.

The first step in determining the solution to the system of equations, y = -x2 - 4x - 3 and y = 2x + 5, algebraically is to set
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Combine like terms onto one side of the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

You have

-x^2  -4x  - 3  = 2x + 5

It seems that we should combine like terms to make this equations smaller.

-x^2 - 4x - 3  - 2x  - 5 = 0

-x^2  -6x  - 8 = 0

- (x + 2)(x + 4) = 0

x = -2  or  x  = -4

Simplify the expression (4x - 3)(x + 5).
Drupady [299]
(4x-3)(x+5)
= 4x^2+20x-3x-15
= 4x^2+ 17x -15.

The final answer is 4x^2+ 17x -15~

A researcher reports an F-ratio with df = 1, 24 for an independent-measures experiment. If all the treatments had the same numbe
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

13 participants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a researcher reports an F-ratio with df = 1, 24 for an independent-measures experiment.

i.e. degrees of treatment between groups =1

and within groups = 24

This implies that there are two groups.

For two groups to have same number of participants, since we get total of degrees of freedom =24+1 =25

Hence total items selected = 26

i.e. each group would have 13 entries

So each treatment had 13 participants.

Screen sizes for televisions are measured by the diagonal length from one corner to the opposite corner on the other side. After
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

<h2>18/√3ft</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a ratio problem

Step one:

Given the ratio of length:width is <em> "3 space colon space square root of 3"</em>

mathematically it is expressed as

length:width 3:√3 or 3/√3

Step two:

3:√3 or 3/√3

if the built TV has a width of 6ft let the length be x

3/√3=x/6

cross multiply we have

x√3=3*6

x√3=18

x=18/√3ft

therefore the length will be 18/√3ft
