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)

The length of a Diameter is 3.714

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.

A map has a scale of 1 in: 25 mi. Two cities are 175 mi apart. How far apart are they on the map?
myrzilka [38]
Ratio = 1/25
Let, the distance b/w cities on map = x

It would be: 1/25 = x/175
x = 175/25
x = 7

In short, Your Answer would be 7 in

Hope this helps!

A volleyball uniform costs $15 for the shirt, $12 for shorts, and $8 for socks. Which expression applies the distributive proper
bixtya [17]

Answer:

I think it would be 350$

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so you have to buy 10 shirts so you need to set up your problem which would be 10(12+8+15)

Then you would have to actually distribute which would give you 120+80+150

Finally you just add all of your numbers together which would be 350$

Which shows the image of quadrilateral ABCD after the transformation R0, 90°?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

A'(0,-1), B'(1,0) , C'(3,-2), and D'(2,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of rectangle ABCD are A(-1,0), B(0,-1), C(-2,-3), (-3,-2).

The mapping for a rotation through 90° clockwise about the origin is

(x,y)\to ( - y,x)

Therefore:

A(-1,0)\to A'(0,-1)

B(0,-1)\to B'(1,0)

C(-2,-3)\to C'(3,-2)

D(-3,-2)\to D'(2,-3)

Therefore the image rectangle has coordinates:

A'(0,-1), B'(1,0) , C'(3,-2), and D'(2,-3)

The first choice is correct.
