Answer:

x = -1/2 or -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 (4 - x) = 12x - 3

Distribute the -2

-8 + 2x = 12x -3

Add 3 to both sides

-5 + 2x = 12x

Subtract 2x from both sides

-5 = 10x

Divide both sides by 10

x = -1/2 or -0.5

a chord is drawn 3 cm away from the centre of a circle of radius 5 cm. calculate the length of the chord​
lara [203]

Answer:

8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the 3 cm line from the chord to the center of a circle is a leg of a right triangle which perpendicularly bisects the chord into two equal halves

draw the hypotenuse of the right triangle from the center of the circle to the endpoint of the chord. This is a radius measuring 5 cm.

find the missing leg of the right triangle

a^2= c^2- b^2

a^2= 25-9

a^2=16

a=4

this is only the measurement of half the chord. To find the full length of the chord multiply by two

4*2=8 cm
