Answer:

3 Units

Step-by-step explanation:

Secant RM intersects secant RN at point R.

The secants intersects the circle at points P and Q respectively as seen in the diagram.

To determine the length of RQ, we use the Theorem of Intersecting Secants.

Applying this on the diagram, we have:

RP x RN=RQ X RM

4(4+5)=RQ(RQ+9)

Let the length of RQ=x

4*9=x^2+9x\\36=x^2+9x\\x^2+9x-36=0\\x^2+12x-3x-36=0\\x(x+12)-3(x+12)=0\\(x+12)(x-3)=0\\x+12=0$ x-3=0\\x=-12 or x=3\\Since x cannot be negative$\\x=|RQ|=3

Therefore, length of RQ=3 Units

Jackie bought a circular rug to place on the floor in her bathroom. The rug has a diameter of 6 feet. What is the area of the ru
Genrish500 [490]
Hey!
The area of the circle would be 28.26 feet squared

Lets break it down:

The formula for the area is pi×radius×radius
We have the diameter, so to find the radius, we need to divide the diameter by 2. 6÷2=3
Now that we have the radius, wr can plug in our numbers: 3.14×3×3= the area, or 28.26 feet sq.

Hope this helps!

Calculate the trade discount for 3030 boxes of computer paper if the unit price is ​$14.9314.93 and a single trade discount rate
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Total trade discount on 30 boxes = $201.555

Step-by-step explanation:

1 box = $14.93

And a trade discount of 45% is allowed on a single box,

Therefore, the discount on one $14.93 box will be

45% × $14.93 = $6.7185

So, if there are now 30 boxes, the trade discount on all 30 boxes will be

30 × (trade discount on one box) = 30 × ($6.7185) = $201.555

Hope this helps!

Two kinds of perfume are packaged in square pyramidal bottles. Perfume A is packaged in a bottle with a base of 3 inches square
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The bottle of perfume A contains more glass

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of the square pyramid is equal to the area of the square base plus the area of its four triangular faces

step 1

Find the surface area of Perfume A

SA=3^{2} +4[\frac{1}{2}(3)(2.5)]=24\ in^{2}

step 2

Find the surface area of Perfume B

SA=2.5^{2} +4[\frac{1}{2}(2.5)(3)]=21.25\ in^{2}

step 3

Compare the surface areas

24\ in^{2}>21.25\ in^{2}

therefore

The bottle of perfume A contains more glass
