<h3>Answer: QS is 37 units long</h3>
=========================================
Explanation:
PN = 24 and NR = 14 are pieces of the chord PR. The two pieces multiply to some value. At the same time, the other two pieces QN = 21 and NS = 2x-4 also multiply to that same value. In short, the chord pieces multiply to the same number. This is known as the intersecting chord theorem.
PN*NR = QN*NS
24*14 = 21*(2x-4)
336 = 42x-84
336+84 = 42x-84+84 .... add 84 to both sides
420 = 42x
42x = 420
42x/42 = 420/42 ...... divide both sides by 42
x = 10
We know that x = 10 so we can use it to find the length of NS
NS = 2x-4
NS = 2*10-4
NS = 20-4
NS = 16
Therefore,
QS = QN + NS
QS = 21 + 16
QS = 37
--------
note: as a check,
PN*NR = QN*NS
24*14 = 21*16
336 = 336
we get a true equation, so we have the proper values
Answer:
The line equation in slope-intercept form is:
Hence, option D is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points
Finding the slope between the points
As the y-intercept is obtained by setting the value x = 0.
As we know that when x = 0, the vale of y-intercept y = 4
so the y-intercept is b = 4.
As the slope-intercept form is
substituting the slope m = -2/5 and the y-intercept b=4
Therefore, the line equation in slope-intercept form is:
Hence, option D is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
In an equilateral triangle, all the three sides are equal as well as all the angles are equal. Let the angles be x.
We know that the sum of angles of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees. It means that,
x+x+x=180
3x=180
x=60°
Hence, if a triangle is an equilateral triangle, then the triangle has exactly three 60° angles. Hence, △ABC is an equilateral triangle
Latus rectum is the line segment that passes through the focus, is perpendicular to the axis, and has both endpoints on the curve.
