Answer:
The length of the chord is 16 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically, a line from the center of the circle to a chord divides the chord into 2 equal portions
From the first part of the question, we can get the radius of the circle
The radius form the hypotenuse, the two-portions of the chord (12/2 = 6 cm) and the distance from the center to the chord forms the other side of the triangle
Thus, by Pythagoras’ theorem; the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides
Thus,
r^2 = 8^2 + 6^2
r^2= 64 + 36
r^2 = 100
r = 10 cm
Now, we want to get a chord length which is 6 cm away from the circle center
let the half-portion that forms the right triangle be c
Using Pythagoras’ theorem;
10^2 = 6^2 + c^2
c^2 = 100-36
c^2 = 64
c = 8
The full
length of the chord is 2 * 8 = 16 cm
Answer: A 13.4
Step-by-step
a^2 + b^2= c^2 4^2 + b^2 = 14^2 16+ b^2= 195 b^2= 180 b= square root of 180 b= 6 square root of 5 or 13.42
Answer:
-15x + 39 = -3(5x - 13)
Step-by-step explanation:
a. -3(5x - 13) = -15x + 39
b. -3(5x + 13) = -15x - 39
c. 3(5x - 13) = 15x - 39
d. 3(5x + 13) = 15x + 39
