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.

Find the derivative of f(x)= e^(4x) + e^-(4x)
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

f'(x)=4e^{4x} -4e^{-4x}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this derivative, we will need to use the chain rule.

As there is a variable in the exponent we can use this formula:

f'(x)=u'e^u

In this case, u=4x and u=-4x

This means that u'=4 and u'=-4 respectively

This gives us f'(x)=4e^{4x} -4e^{-4x}

Abdi's bowling scores for June were 117, 98, 104, 121, 105, 104, 120, and 111. What is the mean of this data?
elena-s [515]
The first thing that you have to do is line it up from least to greatest: 98,104,104,105,111,117,120,121. Then you add all of the numbers and divide the total of all the number of scores she has. 880/8=110. 110 is the answer of your question. ( I got 8 because I had to count all the numbers and I got 880 because I added all the numbers).
