What is the length of CO?
1 answer:
Answer:
Pythagorean theorem, eh?
Step-by-step explanation:
The way to do this is use the radius-tangent angle theorem thing...
It states that, a radius that intersects a point of tangency(I think that's what it's called) is perpendicular to the tangent. Thus, CW is perpendicular to OW!
Thus, it forms a right triangle, where we can use Pythagorean Theorem!
If you don't know what it is, check the internet! It's pretty simple.
So, there you go! Hope this helps!

Answer:
7.7
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the intersection points of the line and the circle we have to set up a system with their equations and solve. The system would look like this:
To solve, substitute 1 for x in the second equation to get:
Solving, we get:
Therefore, the two points of intersection are and
. The distance between these two points (the length of the chord in the circle) is
which is 7.745966692414... which is 7.7 rounded to the nearest tenth.
Hope this helps :)
