Answer: $10.72\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Radius of circle $r=14\ cm$

Length of chord is $l=18\ cm$

Suppose the distance between the chord and center is x

From figure, we can write

$\Rightarrow r^2=x^2+9^2\\\Rightarrow 14^2=x^2+9^2\\\Rightarrow x^2=196-81\\\Rightarrow x^2=115\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{115}\\\Rightarrow x=10.72\ cm$

When painting my bedroom I used 3 1/2 liters of blue paint and 2 1/4 liters of red paint. How much paint did I use in all

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to find the total amount of paint used by adding the two fractions.

First, we need to find the common denominators below adding.

1/2 = 2/4
1/4 = 1/4

The common denominator is 4.

Now, we add the mixed numbers together:

3 2/4 + 2 1/4 = 5 3/4

Since 5 3/4 can't be simplified, the answer is:

5 3/4 liters of paint

Hope this helps!
